Eighteen RAYMON T. ROUSH We are told by many that the cause of our economic ills is the lack of conhdence. We are expected to have conhdence in our employers, and if we are employers, we should have confidence in our employees. XVe should have confidence in our friends, in our churches, in our law makers and in our country as a whole. Agreeing that a return of con- dence will help, we must assume also the responsibility involved. Our legislators must show by their actions that they are worthy of our con- fidence. Employers and employees both must discuss their mutual prob- lems with open minds and Clean hands in order that each party may re- store conhdence in one another. The thing of greatest importance is for us to realize that everyone of us must do these things that Will make us worthy of the other person,s confidence in us. RAYMON T. ROUSH, Secretary-Treasurer.

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.

GEORGE NlEHOUS Ideals in every fleld are things worth While and Vital. They are the prophets of the race for telling What Will be and pointing the way to higher and better things. The irresistible call of high ideals leads men onward toward the best things in purpose, desire and achievement. Ideals in the school are most important. They determine to a very large extent the value of its training. The students are in the stage of human development When ideals most affect the life and character. By the law of nature every student grows into the image of his ideal hero and comes hnally to possess in a measurable degree the intellectual and moral qual- ities that he idealized in that hero. And because of this law students should stand for the highest type of scholarship, culture, efficiency and character. G. G. NIEHOUS, Chairman of Board of Directors.
