Since the institution was founded in 1888 the Snow has made a history replete with progressive changes, unique for her fine traditions and conspicuous for the great service her sons and daughters have daily rendered our Church and State. Now she stands on the threshold of a new era as a beacon light to the ambitious High School graduate. She calls him ‘‘to come, ’ she encourages him “to prepare. she admonishes him “to he true,” and she blesses him “to be honored. By action of the General Board of Education the Snow College has been designated as one of the standard accredited Junior Colleges to be supported by the Church. Consequently, the doors of the iiv stitution will be opened in September. 1923. under very different conditions than ever before. All High School courses will be eliminated and the funds heretofore spent in this department will be used to more completely realize the Junior College ideal. The library will be enlarged, the laboratories better equipped, the curriculum made richer and more inclusive, and the faculty better trained so the Snow will fill every requirement imposed upon her by the State Board of Education and the Universities of the State. The departments to be featured together with the number of courses given in each one are as follows: Courses Theology .................. 3 English ...................10 Exact Science ............. 10 (Including Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Geology) Courses Biological Science ........ 9 (Including; Agriculture) History and Social Science. 9 Education and Psychology...10 Home Economics............. 9 Commerce .................. 3 Music ...................Courses Physical Education.------Courses Graduates from the two year course will be prepared for either First Class Teacher’s Certificates from the State Department of Education or for entrance into any of the Senior Colleges or professional schools with the standing of a Junior. The Church School district assigned to the Snow has been enlarged so as to include the following stakes: North Sanpete, South Sanpete, North Sevier, Sevier, South Sevier. Garfield, Panguitch, and Emery. The presidents of each of these stakes are to be members of the Board of Trustees for the Snow College. With these men to lead in their respective stakes, possessing a vision of the great advantages and possibilities of attendance at the Junior College, and supported by the patrons and alumni of the institution, it is believed that the necessary 150 students for next year’s registration will be easily realized.

For as Goethe has said : “The important thing in life is to have a great aim, and to possess the aptitude and perseverance to attain it.” If only it were given to us all to have the super-human courage, the steadfast aim, and the lofty purpose of ColunT who could say in the face of all difficulties, “This day we sailed westward, which was our course.” Oh, the power of a great purpose to work miracles: It has changed the face of the world. In the careers of our greatest men, a steadfast purpose has ever led them on to victory. What though reverses should come: there was no turning to the right nor to the left; no dreaminig away time, nor building air-castles, but one supreme faith, forward, upward, and onward, to their goal. It is the man who does one thing in this world who comes to the front. A one-talent man who decides upon a definite object accomplishes more than a ten-talent man who scatters his energies and never knows exactly what he will do. It is the one-sided man. the man of one idea, the man of a single and intense purpose, who cuts his way through obstacles and forges to the front. Concentration is the keynote of the country. A great purpose is cumulative: and like a great magnet, it attracts all that is kindred along the stream of life. The poorest scholar in school or college often, in practical life, far outstrips the class-leader or senior wrangler, simply because what little ability he has he employes for a definite object, while the other, depending upon his general ability and brilliant prospects, never concentrates his powers. We can all have purpose and should have it and we should live to it at its best. We must finally be judged not by attainments but by the ideals and motives that inspired them. So we pay homage to the past in that it is the stuff that the future is made of. Then for the present, onward let us peer with a purpose in life. For it holdeth the bow of promise—the promise of opportunity, the chance to grow, and in this growth, the chance to serve our fellowmen. ON. DELBERT C.
