BY GARFIELD HANKINS. This past year has seen the establishment of the College of Liberal Arts at the Polytechnic. For the first time in the history of the institu- tion it has become possible to grant university degrees. This fact. more than any other. shows the growth and development of the Institute. It marks the greatest year in the history of the Polytechnic and foretells a wonderful future. There are three main reasons for the establishment of a college here. First. because this is an ideal place for a college. The Polytechnic is situ- ated in the center of a region 500 miles in diameter. with a population of 1000.000 people. its immediate field is larger than the German Empire. It lies in the heart of the Yellowstone Valley and is the center oi' a vast agricultural and industrial empire, the possibilities of which are un- limited. Secondly, new high schools are constantly being established throughout this region. Towns have sprung up everywhere and each year sees a rapid growth in population. This means an increase in the total number of high school graduates each year. These graduates must have a convenient place to go to college, a college not too far from home and one that is capable. in every way, of caring for its students, mentally, physically, morally and spiritually. Tliirdly, the Polytechnic offers a thorough vocational training. High school graduates will find in the College of Liberal Arts a great oppor- tunity for training themselves for responsible positions. The whole drift of educational ideas today is toward definite values. Every student should be given a chance to discover his bent and his college must make him skillful in it. A man's value to society is not complete until he finds his place and work in life. Every individual in society should add something to human service. The Polytechnic believes the genius in every man lies waiting to be discovered. College training will mean that here. The campus of the Polytechnic lies in the shadow of the great Rim- rock which borders the north side of Billings. Here the greystone col- lege buildings are being erected, one after another, to fit into a scheme for an ideal college center. Soon it will be a city gray, with traditions and memories dear to the heart of the college student. Each year the students will silently wind their way in the long farewell march to the Rimrocksg each year the Seniors will arise to receive their degreesg each year good-byes will be said to dear old college days. And we shall all be glad to call this our Alma Mater. f'0L'LEG E STVDE NTS. Eklund. Arthur Nettlehorst, Corinne Hankins, Garfield Pickle, George H. Kim, Patrick Robinson, Florence Lacy, Madison S.
