Jn ii moriam DR. JOHN WESLEY SWARTZ 1868-1948 For his wholehearted devotion to the cause of Veterans’ Education; for his untiring patience and his depth and thoroughness as a teacher; for his in- telligent and understanding heart as a friend and counselor; for his charm and cheerfulness as a great human being; for his last full measure of devotion to duty, The memory of Doctor Swartz is enshrined for life in the hearts and minds of the students of St. Helena and his colleagues of the Faculty.

TO THE STEDEiTSMDFACELTY In a material sense no college was ever put together so rapidly as was St. Helena, in the summer of 1946. But far more important than alterations or build- ings, or equipment was the spirit which evolved here. The St. Helena spirit was distinctive. It was straightforward and direct; it was sometimes embarrassingly honest; but it was always refreshing. St. Helena men knew what they wanted, and they set about getting it. It was this spirit that set the tone of the place. This spirit saw no reason why all of the activities pursued on the usual permanent campus could not be carried on at St. Helena, and a full program of extracurricular activities was developed forthwith. Staid, conservative institutions within the state, institutions to the north of us and to the south of us were challenged in debating and in athletic competition, and some suffered defeat in the hands of this upstart. The same feeling pervaded the faculty. Because the faculty believed that all things could be accomplished, many things avoided at other older institutions were attempted at St. Helena, and in a surprising number of instances were at- tempted successfully. We were told that it was impossible to set up complete boarding and living arrangements within the limits of the veterans’ stipend, but we did it. This freshness, this vitality, this willingness to reassess an old situation, and a courageous approach to anything new, are the qualities that distinguish the St. Helena spirit. It is the best thing that has come out of St. Helena. It has already been noted in the students we have sent to other institutions. May it continue to be the mark of St. Helena men wherever they go.
