QUIVER Ruth S. Mace Dean of Women In defining dependable,” Webster lists a number of words and phrases. Impressive though they may sound and accurate though they may be, dependable means more than can be defined by the best chosen words. It means that an individual will be at the place where he or she should be at a specified time; it means that he or she possesses the ability and good judgment to perform those duties which the occasion demands; it means that the person has self-control and the necessary poise under the most trying circumstances; and last but not least, that he or she is endowed with that essential and sterling trait— honesty. In other words, to say that a person is dependable sums up in a single word those qualities which classify that individual as being eminently all that he or she should be. This is as true in teaching as in all phases of life. While we cannot all be brilliant, cannot all be physically attractive or have many of the magnetic qualities with which the outstanding person is supposed to be endowed, it is possible for any one of us to be dependable. If we can have that word written after our names, we have not made a failure in life. Pat tw nty-on«

1930 Earl A. Clemans Dean of Men Almost coincident with the publication of this Quiver, the members of the graduating class will be receiving their diplomas. Each diploma is evidence that the recipient has completed, in a manner approved by the faculty, some one of the curricula offered by the school. The material value of the diploma may be very insignificant but. because of the rights and privileges it confers, it is of great value to its possessor. In spite of its legal status, however, it would be a worthless bit of paper were it not for the army of young men and women who have gone out in previous years and demonstrated to the satisfaction of the public that the possession of such a diploma was a guarantee of ability to teach. The class of 1930 is about to join that army in the field, and the future value of the school's diploma will be determined in a large degree by the measure of their success.
