minuittation PRESIDENT SMITH In 1909, Mr. E. T. Smith began teaching in the History Department of the Stevens Point Normal School. He has successfully completed thirty years in that field; he has seen the normal school as a comparatively small school grow and progress and broaden out into the college it is today—one of the leading teachers’ colleges in Wisconsin with an expansive scope of absorbing courses and a large activity program. In the spring of 1939 he became acting president at the withdrawal of President Philip A. Falk. The following fall term, which marks this school year, initiated him as president of our college, a place he well deserves for his meritorious activity in making this school what it is. The veteran faculty member up to his appointment, he is remembered and appreciated by his classes, his colleagues, and his superiors for his infinite wisdom, his philosophy, his kindness, understanding, and wit. A man whose tracks will be printed in the sands of Time. Pag« 11 FROSH BEAR DOWN ON US... THE USUAL GREEN VARIETY

REGENT DELZELL Loyalty and co-operation among students and faculty members are priceless assets for any educational institution. They are the foundation of what we know as school spirit. They are the true measure of the virility of a school and a guaranty that its vital mission of making better citizens is being advanced. It has been my observation during my relatively short period of service as local regent that Central State Teachers College is unusually fortunate in its school spirit. This is especially noteworthy in view of handicaps with which it has been confronted due to reduced budgets for supplies and teachers' salaries and increased enrollment. These handicaps have been assumed in a spirit of cheerfulness and understanding by students and teachers alike, proving there are no 'quitters'' at Central State. That Central State is more interested in solving its problems by constructive action than in complaining about them, that it is committed to a policy of sound progress against all obstacles is an inspiring tribute to the institution. It is, by the same token, eloquent of the devoted and intelligent leadership accorded the school by its new president, E. T. Smith, who came up from the ranks to climax many years of distinguished service as a teacher with administrative qualities destined to carry the institution to new heights of achievement. .
