L. W. Bom President of St. Olaf College ST. OLAF COLLEGE ITS Campus of one hundred forty acres, eleven buildings with complete equip- ment--the physical plant of its great industry- lts Faculty and Administration Personnel of seventy one individuals--the Power plant supplying the latent and potential energy needed for successful operation- Its Student Body of one thousand young people-the most wonderful raw ma- terial of any industry- All that, welded into entity and unity, endowed with a spirit that lives, moves and has being-that is St. Olaf College. St. Olafis position is unique. While such statements can be made about many colleges, but few in this country owe as intimate and definite a loyalty to a denom- inational body as does St. Olaf. The Norwegian Lutheran Church of America demonstrates annually her faith in St. Olaf by appropriating a sum of money equal to the income from an endowment of fllS1,600,0'00.00. In return for this support St. Olaf has repeatedly pledged itself to the highest ideals of education. It believes that it can best serve the individual, the Church, and the State by a conscious adherence to the principle that 'the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom', and in fifty three years of experience it has been proved that this principle may safely be laid as a foundation for true education. Thankful for the opportunity to serve, St. Olaf College greets you. P. M. Gmsois, Acting President. Seventeen

ENmzE B: ANDERSON Hirnumz ANDERSON OLAVA M, BAKKEN RICHARD BECK Athletic Coach Home Economics Home Economics Englzlgll fThe following articles, written by members of the faculty, concern men who were imbued with the Spirit of the Reformatioml HORACE MANN HE educational tendencies of the Reformation came to fruition in our country through the Work of Horace Mann, the recognized leader in the development of our public schools. As a member of the state senate of Massachusetts and later as secretary of the State Board of Education, lVIann labored assiduously to bring about an educational revival. Campaign after campaign was organized to arouse public interest and to develop an intelligent conception of the functions of public schools. Mann believed that the welfare of the state depends directly on the moral and social efficiency of its citizens. To provide such eiiiciency, there must be a system of public education which is free to all the people in the state and which is so organized that it will reach all those who need it. The schools must be non- sectarian. There must be adequate buildings and equipment for doing eliicient work. The teachers must be well trained. Emphasis should be laid, both in the curriculum and in the methods of teaching, on the practical needs of the pupils. Gradually the ideas of Horace Mann and those who worked with him spread to other states, and we have come into heritage of their labors. JULIUS BORAAS. WILLIAM BENSON GEORGE O. BERG J.
