ELETEAN Loyalty The greatest achievement of an educational institution is to raise the moral and spiritual level of its student body. Education is consecrated to the betterment of mankind, not to the training of a few selected leaders. In a democracy it is highly important that this fundamental conception be kept clear. No more serious mistake could be made than that our institutions of higher learning be organized and administered in the interest of the select. Education in our country must have as its objective the improvement of the intellectual and ethical perspective of the great mass of our citizens. We do not need holders of world’s records; we do need the intellectual and ethical elevation of all. American schools and colleges are the best training grounds for citizenship. The American student entertains a high type of loyalty for his institution. This is one of the splendid things connected with student life. It is a splendid thing for these institutions to have the enthusiastic loyalty of these young men and women, but the chief significance of the kindling of these sentiments lies in the profound influence upon the lives of the students themselves. The most sinister feature in the life of the American people today is their cynical contempt for law and government and the evident purpose on the part of great classes of our citizens to use government, not as an instrument of justice to all, but as a means whereby some class benefit may be seized. Idealism is a priceless virtue. It is an attribute of youth. We must look to the young people of today—the students in our institutions of learning— to keep alive our idealism and to foster those sentiments of honor and loyalty without which our free institutions cannot endure. Let the River Falls Normal School, its student body and faculty, always endeavor to create an institutional atmosphere in which all the higher qualities of citizenship may develop and flourish, and let there be placed first among these virtues, loyalty. And let this civic and personal virtue mean: loyalty to friends, loyalty to our school and loyalty to our country. President.
