Rexford S. Mitchell A. M. University of Chicago Civics amt Public Speaking Dean of Men Irma Hatiiorn A. M. Touchers College, Columbia University Dean of Women aS we look back upon this school year I am sure we all feel bas been a good one. It has been our first as a Teachers College; our first in the new building. There has been a splendid spirit of co-operation and a fine atmosphere of friendliness at all times. We have won no state championships, hut our representatives in intercollegiate competition have always been near the top. We have had a good time, but huve not neglected our work. It has been an enjoyable, a profitable, a worthwhile year. I am glad to have hud a part in this year's activities. I am sorry that they are drawing to a close. I regret that I shall not be with you next year; I wish you all happiness and success. gif'll IS teacher-training institution, with its newly-acquired title vtU of Teachers College, is feeling the responsibility of living up to the prestige and the standards that belong to its new rank as a college. Perhaps the greatest test of the value of the training given in a Teachers College is the type of young person, be it young man or young woman, which the institution sends into the teaching field year after vear. Scholastic ability and skill in the classroom are not all that is needed to qualify one as a teacher. At a time when social conventions and standards of conduct are rapidly changing, it take clear thinking, strong conviction and high ideals on the part of young people to direct their living in a way that will bring credit to themselves and their institution as well as to give satisfaction to the community in which they expect to work. Most thinking people believe heartily in the modern ideas of freedom and self-expression, provided an understanding of the true ntcuning of liberty is coupled with this demand for freedom. A democracy places much responsibility for self-direction and self-control upon the individual. Young people of today who have had the advantages of institutions of higher learning arc qualified to carry with them, into their work, the teachings and ideals of their institution. To the graduates of the classes of 1928, go best wishes for their success and unbounded faith in their uhilily to live and to work true to their highest ideals. Tteenty-Foir
