IIIII [ • The real crossroads of life at Teachers College is not the inter- secting extensions of the corridors of three buildings, where students have been wont to gather between class hours for more than thirty years. The true crossroads of the college is the office of the President, for there go students, faculty, alumni, townspeople, members of the state board of education, legislators, representatives of state and na- tional educational associations, distinguished authorities on educa- tional affairs, and delegations and committees without number. It is there that all interests meet; there that all final efforts, physical, intellectual, and spiritual, are brought together in the common goal of educational achievement. Through our president every student on the campus has ready access to the best thought of all the people interested in the education of superior teachers. Through him the students can know the high standards for service set by some 16,000 graduates who have gone forth from this school to all parts of the world. Through him they can meet the concerted thought of 160 outstanding educators who make up our faculty, through him know the wishes of the whole people of Iowa, the hopes and ideals of every great educational body in America. Truly, the president's office is the crossroads of educational life and ultimately of personal life for every student at the Iowa State Teachers College. There all problems stand out in sharp relief. —The Editor
