Led by Faculty Marshals, students carrying flags, faculty members, delegates of colleges and uni- versities, area clergy, and trustees all tramped the familiar steps again.Over100 pe0ple were seated on stage for the ceremony. In the inaugural speech entitled, Education: An Endangered Species, Dre Blake spoke on the importance of maintaining and strengthing the liberal arts in the face of career prePatation. Southwestern College for 100 years has insisted that the best context f0r Specialization is the liberal arts, insiste ing that education provides the best context for career preparation. It is naive to think that a college can exist today without preparing per- sons for a career. However, it is just as naive to think we have done our job well ifthat is all we do.
