I Executive T HE attitude toward the executive branch of the college administration is more or less a passive one unless through exceptional cases we come into direct contact with these officers. When such is the case, there is always a tendency toward complaint when something goes wrong hut no sign of appreciation when everything runs smoothly. Naturally it is not possible to create personal friendships between the whole student body and the various administrative officers; it is an ideal to be sure but not a practicability. This does not mean, however, that there should be no attempt at all to instill into each student that general feeling of friendliness and unification which solidifies the functions of any college and makes it act as one. The wrongs of one should be considered as the wrongs of all, and the good in one as the good in all. What has been said is not only relevant to college organization, but should be borne in mind concerning all organizations regardless of size. It would be well for all graduates to take up their new responsibilities with this realization. Whatever type of organization we become connected with later on, we should recognize the fact that we can be of real worth only if we accept the principles of that organization and abide by the same through thick and thin. - 27 -
