Sixteen BU RTON HAN DY There are two elements Which are very necessary in the life of any young person expecting to succeed. One is character that Will prove a safeguard that Will hold one to the proper course of action and prove a stabilizing force in his efforts to adjust himself to the demands of society upon him. The other is a knowledge of that Which he is expecting to do in the World coupled With the power to think and reason so that he may adequately apply that knowledge to the particular thing Which he is expected to do. The first Without the second may result in an amiable individual Who does not harm but Who, on the other hand, does not accomplish anything. The second Without the first may result in an individual eX- tremely dangerous to the life of any community in Which he may live and work. It should be the aim of every student of Tri-State College to so develop himself that these two elements may be found properly balanced in his life to the end that it may count in the highest degree possible toward the upbuilding of society. BURTON HANDY, President.

UJILLIAM A DEEPER Dean of Engineering It should be the ambition of every individual to advance in the world as he grows older and to grow up as a respected citizen of unques- tionable character. Even more so should be the ambition of every col- lege graduate, but as we look around us we see so many failures. It is only necessary to consult statistical tables to substantiate these statements. So the question naturally arises, what is wrong with our system of edue cation or maybe something may be wrong with certain individuals themselves. Of course there may be many things wrong With some of our courses or possibly with the method of presentation but as we study conditions we hnd the attitude of the individual has a lot to do with conditions. As an individual we must try hard at all times to really be doing something useful and not be so ready to criticize the time at hand. Depressions come and go, yet we find many fine individuals and also many fine industrial organizations, accomplishing much at all times. In such a short article it would be foolish to try to formulate any set rules for the individual to follow, yet let us hope anyone reading this article may get the idea that if he is to make good and get along in the world he must hustle all the while, and try hard to put to work the sound principle of mathematics and the theory he has investigated during his stay in college.
