I he Efdreaihenth sewage. T IS a distinct pleasure to be able to felicitate THE COLLEGIAN on its enter- prise and initiative in bringing out an annual number. Of the reputation off the regular COLLEGIAN we are all justly proud, and I confidently hope that this annual number will add to our complacency. But that is not, perhaps, what the urgent editors want in asking me for a 'cmessagef' I take it that the lords of the sanctum have in mind a word or two tending to stimulate student loyalty and solidify student opinion. And as something that might produce such a tendency if properly considered, I submit this thought for serious pondering: Education is the Contact of Mind with Blind. 1 No doubt the logician will find something to censure in this tentative defini- tion, for it is extremely inclusive, it takes in even undesirable education, for what else is undesirable but the contact of minds, one of which at least is 1111- worthy? But what I mean is rather the true, the real, the desirable type of education wherein the alert and open mind of the pupil comes into vital contact with the well-stocked, well trained and enlightened mind of the teacher. There is nothing new in this conception of education, but there is in it much that is timely. For in our day especially we are all liable to be unduly influ- enced 'by material .standards and to assume, more or less explicitly, that educa- tion is a matter of buildings and laboratories and experiment stations, even a matter of dormitories and social halls and athletic stadiums. It is well for us, for us who teach and for us who learn, to remind ourselves every little while that, like art, like philosophy, like religion, education is essentially a spiritual thing and its motive forces are not the work of human hands. It is plain that the educational process ordinarily demands a material back- ground, just as art demands a material canvas and religion a material altar, but we do not value a masterpiece because of the texture of the canvas on which it is painted, nor do we estimate the truth of a religion according to the size of the altar. Similarly, we do not--or at any rate should not-evaluate an educational institution according to the number of its buildings or the wealth of its material endowment. The greatest Teacher the world has known possessed no material endowment whatever, nmnerically His pupils were few, and their classes were held by the sea shore or on the brow of a little hill. Yet the ideas He imparted to His stu- dents were very exalted and very practical and very much alive, and after two thousand years of human history they enthrall minds and fire hearts and direct wills. Saint Mary's College stands for the type of education imparted by Jesus Christ to His chosen followers so long ago in that tiny bit of the world called Palestine. Those of us who are privileged to teach here wear His uniform and stand dedicated in a particular way to His service. And those of us who are learners will be truly wise if we establish between ourselves and our teachers the sort of mental contact that existed between the minds of Peter and James and John and the mind of the Master Who was God made Man.
