THE POWER OF ASSOCIATION Try to visualize a college where each student goes about completely engrossed in his own classes, studies, and doing nothing but his scholastic worlc. The word visualize is used because It would be impossible to find a school like that. In considering such a situation, do you think that he could remain satisfied in this same grind day after day? How many students would a college like this have? And how long would those students remain there? Now, in reality, imagine a school where every student is Interested in his fellow classmates and is constantly working to help him. Here you will find young men and women, boys and girls, busily attending the responsibili- ties of various organizations. There are groups of students standing or sitting on a beautiful lawn, laugh- ing and talking about subjects that are uplifting. If you were to go through a building, you would perhaps find an instructor or leader of the school giving advice and help to one of the students who has some problem to solve. Perhaps you would hear a murmur of voices, and If you were to go into one of the rooms in a dormi- tory, you would find a group of boys humbly kneeling and earnestly lifting their prayers up to God. It would not be hard to readily see the difference between these two institutions. The latter school men- tioned is our own college, Trevecca. It Is made this way because of friendship and fellowship, not only with men but with God. We realize and accept the old adage that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. In order for Jack ' s life to be Interesting, he must participate In the activities of the dormitory, school sports, and campus affairs. Only by doing these things can he except to reap the benefits of college life in full. The student a ' well as anyone else, must first prove himself friendly be ore be can expect to win friends. Also, in our school we paraphrase thus: All play and no work makes Jack a dull boy, and Trevecca College has no place for a ' dull Jack. ' Friends are found at college that prove lasting and Invaluable. Through fellowship, friendship, and proper association, the life of a Trevecca student tends to build character — both Christian and moral. It aids him In gaining self-confidence, establishes In him a liking for Christian companionship, and gives him the opportunity to meet many of the problems in human relationship that he must face out In the world.
