D., The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland Introduction In the democratic way of life in our coun¬ try all people play an integral part in the overall scheme of government and of social well being. Every person should feel indi¬ vidually responsible and important in con¬ tributing to the good of the whole. How¬ ever, it is a depressing fact that many people do not inherit characteristics that promote initiative for the betterment of mankind out¬ side of personal interests, and, therefore, they need training and guidance in general ways of living. Education, then, is a most important part of man’s life if he is to im¬ prove and develop his standard of living. A sound mind in a sound body” is per¬ haps a goal that every individual should seek. Through systematic physical activities and wholesome living derived from definite health programs, man can build dynamic power which he can effectively employ to overcome many obstructions. Under the proper guidance of cooperative administrative ideals by leaders who have served faithfully and without prejudice in public affairs, the intellect of the average man can be broadened and expanded to a degree that would possibly touch the fron¬ tiers of knoweldge in all fields. With such a background man may creatively express himself so that he may contribute to the refinement and advancement of civilization. Ever pertinent and with resounding empha¬ sis, in the better part of man’s soul, is his religious and spiritual motives, which teach him the advantages of Christian living. In our book this year we attempt to illustrate the basic factors at our college which tend to build a better democratic society. 5
