' 'APPRECIATIONS l W The man who can develop in young people the power of self-effort, of steady growth toward an ideal, of attainment in strength of character and virtuous living, is an educator of the Iiuest type. Such an educator is Dr. Ifloose, as many can testify from personal experience and observation. SARA A. SAUNDICRS, Su xc-rintendent of the 'l'raining' De Jartment, State Normal School Ilrock mort, N. Y. I l I l I have sat at the feet of several Gamaliels in my life time, hut I never sat where I qot more ideas than I did when the Gamaliel was Dr. James H. lrloose. I knew him when I began to go to schoolg he helped prepare me for eollegeg he offered me a chair in his faculty twenty-live years ago, and I worked with him as a teacher for seven years. lle has thus influenced my life as few others have. and I respect and honor him more than I have words to express.

Energy, strength and force are expressive words, hut power is more expressive. Rugged in feature and in act. hut withal gentle, kind and sympathetic, His fellowship was a strong, silent reward. I think he has never realized how far one hour of his fellowship reached into the future lives of his students. ' 'l'. J. llIcIiVOY. Editor, llflelivoy llflagazine.

'flfSIP22f'f':2If:'fIf:l2i'flfi2f:21f2f2:2ff2ifF2' - A The Presidents Message The need of the world today is for the trained mind, for the college man and the college woman. This is now universally recognized, and he who is deficient in this regard finds himself at large disadvantage in the varied activities of life. It must be our task to learn what we are and how to use ourselves, and to develop those powers and forces which are characteristic of man- hood and womanhood at their best. The spirit of commercialism is at present well-nigh dominant, but should not be the controlling motive in our efforts, although it cannot and ought not to be wholly ignored. We seek educa- tion because it means power, and that awakening of the mind whereby it becomes productive and sensitive to every influence for good. Variety, versatility, and productiveness in every part of our nature constitute a very important if not the chief element of genuine happiness. The man who has an open understanding and lives in the full possession of educated faculties, has re- sources which no selfish nature can touch and no human decree eradicate. The University of Southern California does not claim to offer final institutional training for all the various callings for which extensive preparation is necessary. It does claim to develop in the student systematic habits, and to give him such control of his intellectual powers as will enable him to direct them success- fully in any ,field of investigation. Through its engineering de- partments and professional schools it gives technical training of a high order, scientific in character, and based on.adequate and liberal preparation. The recent rapid growth of the University is gratifying to its friends. This growth is due in large measure to the enthusi- astic loyalty of the students, the efficiency of the faculty, and the high standards maintained in both scholarships and morals. To all departments of the University I extend most cordial greetings, and to the Juniors, my hearty congratulations.
