Tor efficient use of books; more than that, there is a fine spirit of coopcrat ivencss, which has made tolerable even our super-crowded conditions of the past year or two. If our public were not so good-natured about the necessity for tucking in elbows, waiting turns, and returning things promptly for the use of others, life for the librarians could be less pleasant than it is. Wc arc glad of an opportunity to express our appreciation to you all.” f from MISS PARKE, the librarian.) The college library is an institution in itself. The VOICE would like to pay tribute to this most hardworking and often not sufficiently recognized jx rtion of our staff. They certainly deserve our thoughtful and appreciative recognition. Students and faculty are sometimes prone to take for granted the services of the library staff rather than to praise them. I.ct us consider a moment: in the library are books and information the student might need to do a complete rc|x rt or project; books arc on reserve so that all may have an equal chance to complete an assignment: folders are available for extra information; and the librarians are always there to help locate a book, to answer a question. Unfortunate, indeed, would be the student who could not avail himself of these benefits. Instructors, also, would be at a loss without the library. All knowledge cannot be taught from a textbook. Additional references and readings can often teach more than the text. This is where the library makes its contribution. An efficient system of reserving books and supplemental readings can make the teaching more efficient. May this expression of our appreciation help to make the library staff aware of our gratitude to them! NORVA R. M UN LORD Assistant Librarian B.S., S.U. College at (Jcncseo M.L.S..

Dedication As vc approach the conclusion of this segment of our progress toward a higher level of education, we constantly are aware of changes both outside in the world in which we move, and within ourselves, as well. We discover that our values have undergone some modification and strengthening, and that our insight into the motivations of people and their strivings toward goodness and helpfulness to others has become more perceptive. As we gain in maturity, we realize more clearly the value of the characteristics which are present in individuals whose success lies in different attitudes from those which we might earlier have admired and wished to imitate. We have asked ourselves questions: When might a person feel that he has achieved success? When should we consider him a success? Should it be his accumulation of wealth; or his high position, or great popularity? No, we feel that true success lies within the person himself, in his desire to be of service to others, and in his giving unlimited time in unselfish devotion to helping and counseling, encouraging and inspiring others, with no thought of personal popularity or gain. This is a goal worth striving for in our future lives. To this quality'—SHUVICH TO-OTHKRS—as it appears in the character of some individuals, we dedicate this book, the VOICli of 196T We feel, moreover, that on this campus we have discovered within an individual the embodiment of this spirit which seems to us the symbol of true success.
