I i IOIIOI' 5 7'OETI-IE said Wl1at We wish l A for in youth comes in heaps on us in old age, while Emerson wrote Life is a search after power, and this is an element with which the world is so saturated that no honest seeking goes unrewardedf' If this phil- osophy is true, each student in our beloved college may possess honor. BLANC!-IE W. STEVENS 'Q Dean of Ufunxcn Afxociatc Prolcfsor of Home Economic: True honor does not write nor permit conversations that tear clown char- acter and reputation. It is an element that raises one's ideals and is a basis for lasting friendships. Sincere honor, deeply ingrained always recognizes the inherent wealcncss in that which is not right. Honors may bring fame, greatness, even self-love and hypocrisy, but honor is based upon fidelity, truth, constancy, virtue and intergrity. Honor is not the result of chance, but is the outcome of a constant consistent striving toward this ideal. Honor becomes so large a part of one's character, that it is the occasion for the saying an ear which hears not what men say, but hears what they do not say. Ir is my sincere wish that each student within our college halls shall covet and possess this honor, that causes one to be rightfully attracted to you, to hold you in high esteem and to recognize your worthiness of character.

page fuurtccn .le oyzz lfy f'1 HE real knight was a good man s s and true,', which meant that above all else he was loyal. To be true to his lord and his fellow knights was one of the Hnest virtues of the age of chivalry. In The Lady of the Lake, the loyalty of the banished Douglass to his king is praised in the stirring lines- DR. ALLEN C. LEMON Dean of the Collage Prufermr of Psychology Against his sovereign, Douglass ne'er Will level a rebellious spear. In this modern day also, It is loyalty, not success, that is knightlyf' Loyalty to friends, fellow workers, institutions, ideals, one's college, one's country, is one of the most commendable virtues. Loyalty is today so highly esteemed that one is ready to overlook slow head, slow hands, and slow feet where loyalty exists, while without it no skill or agility of mind or body makes one accepted. Loyalty is the foundation of everything noble in character. Other traits, such as courage, honesty, sympathy, center around loyalty. It is also thc key- stone of the arch of friendship, for loyalty is faith in others. One should be loyal to himself. He should respond to the urges of his better self. This is a continuous struggle, for no one can be his best without striving to be so. To thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. One should be loyal to his college. He should give his best to uphold her honor and her ideals. If he is loyal in mind and heart he will in turn receive from her many of the things in life he holds most dear. Your love for your college and your happiness in your college life will be in direct proportion to your loyalty to your Alma Mater. L ,, H., 9 , i .M r .. , .

,,... Q! FX Cel c l6?IH1.C fl 'lil fes f I-IEN President Todd succeeded in col- lecting the first quarter million of en- dowment in 1916 was financially able to proceed toward the academic de- velopment which now makes it one of the leading in- stitutions of the Pacific Coast. Soon the college became a four year accredited institu- .X .c tion. The academy was discontinued. The effort was all placed on the development of college courses, and as soon as practicable the Normal department was discontinued while a full course of four years was established in the department of Education. Simi- lar advances have been made in other departments. As the public realized the signihcance of this worlc further recognition came to the college's aca- demic progress from the outside. The Robert Laird McCormick chair of Business Administration was established. The Alumni Association began to raise funds to endow the chair of history in the name of our beloved professor Walter Scott Davis. The students and faculty set their minds to the improve- ment of standards, and during the past two years great strides have been made. The standards for honors have been raised by the provision for independent study by candidates for honors. This study in the subject of the stu- dent's specialization is supervised by the major de- partment and is designed to secure a maximum of ability on the part of the student to do research and to reach conclusions scientifically. When such a student graduates with honors, the honors mean that the college approves of the student as one who has attained real scholarship and has learned to work independently without the necessity of small, regularly assigned taslcs. It means that the stu- dent is recognized by the institution to have at- tained maturity and independent power. Now the college is to offer mastet's degrees. In page .fixlccn A CORNER OF SCIENCE HALL offering the degree of Master of Arts the College of Puget Sound establishes itself as a truly higher the College of Puget Sound institution. Genuine independent worlc of high scholarship will be required for the at- tainment of this de- gree. The mingling of graduate stu- dents with the un- dergraduates of the upper classes will raise the tone of all those classes, and help to inspire stu- dents toward a higher quality of worlc. It is almost superfluous to mention the recogni- tion the College of Puget Sound has received from accrediting agencies. However we are listing them again because they show the outside and official recognition our academic development has had, and all students and friends of the college should know that it is accredited by the American Council of Education, the Northwest Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools, the American Med- ical Association, the University of the State of New Yorlc, the Washington State Board of Edu- cation, the Association of American Colleges and University Senate of the Methodist Church. By virtue of the college's membership in the North- west Association its credits are recognized by the North Central Association of College and Secon- dary Schools, The Association of the Middle States and Maryland, the New England Association and the Southern Association. In addition to this great advance it will be pos- sible, next year, for students to major in journal- ism and physical education. The academic advancement of this college is vital to the Northwest. The college of Puget Sound, under able leadership, is advancing as fast as funds permit. Nothing is being done in haste or without due consideration. Everything is done with a vision to permanency and stability. As we watch this progress in our Alma Mater we are proud. We know the future is assured. ,. -R-,T-.-5' ' - ,- -fr 1' '.if'r'1 'H'--:gba .. '.,,u.. ,- I . ...-3. 'V' ex Deep-2-Larger gan Y X , f' .--1 . I.. , , .M , sc, -L,
