YOU SHOULD CONTRIBUTE By RAYMOND CLEVENGER President, Roosevolt Student Council One of the most searching questions that can be asked of an institution is, Who gains most from it? When asked of Roosevelt College, this may not have an obvious answer. For here it appears that the faculty, with its vigorous voice in college policy making, with its right to teach freely, reaps the fullest advantage of Roosevelt College. The most perfect harvest the college yields, however, is gathered by the student. It is he, though extremely capable of college work but sometimes not welcomed by other schools because of race or religion, who finds in Roosevelt College the realization of his visions, his dreams. Here he finds the opportunity of receiving an education in liberalism, equaled in few other places. Here he finds greater awareness of contemporary society. Intelligent awareness is a necessary means of meeting today's problems. The opportunities offered to faculty and students mean nothing unless the individual develops and shapes them for himself. It is for us, citizens of the college, to preserve these opportunities that others in the future may benefit from them. Those who gain most from Roosevelt College are those within the college who not only take advantage of its offered opportunities but who also serve in some way to perpetuate the school for students of the future. We need not tax our mental resources to discover what each of us can do to insure this college's future. Roosevelt College, our college is embarking on a campaign for three million dollars. If our school is to continue its growth, it is up to each one in the college to give his aid. Our task today is to develop Roosevelt College so that there can be students here in the future. This campaign is a challenge! But the founding of our school was a challenge also. Just as some said that the ideals of Roosevelt College were impossible, so too they have said that our future is impossible. The decision rests with us! The potential for success is within each of us!
