Elizabeth Dyer, A.B. Director of the School of Household Administration To be effective in one ' s environment is a proper ambition. Realization of that ambition depends upon our knowledge of our environment. That is why education is daily coming closer to life as it is hved. The new education for women is illustrative of this progress. It meets the requirements incident to the marked change in the economic and political status of women. Society expects intelligent women everywhere to be informed regarding their responsibilities, and to exer- cise judgment and skill that match their responsibilities as professional women, as citizens and as administrators of the home. The changes in our economic environment are compelling more and more women to work; the community needs the aid of the educated women citizens; manage- ment of the modern home and the training of the child call for scientific knowledge. The School of Household Administration meets these new problems of women. It trains for professions, for citizenship and for the home. It offers fundamental knowledge, the skillful use of which means zest and harmony in living.

Catherine Buckley, R.X., B.S. Director of the School of Nursing and Healtli The School of Nursing and Health stands for education as the most effective means for securing better nursing for the individual and the community, and a higher status for the nursing profession. It stands for the broader conception of nursing — a profession which requires, not only a great degree of practical skill, but intelligence and social vision, and which in its teaching includes not only the care of the sick but the prevention of disease and the promotion of positive health. W ' [h the increasing demand in all branches of nursing for the better educated and more liljerally minded woman, unlimited opportunities for service and leader- ship are open to you in a field which offers a latitude and range of work imexcelled by any other profession. az Ztcoct t '

Daniel Laurence Business Manager of the University In the administration of the extra-curricular student activities, it has been our belief that full responsibility should be lodged in the students themselves, and that the oversight of the facidty should be limited to advice and assistance, chiefly in financial matters. It is gratifying to know that the students here have risen to this responsibihty and have con- ducted their affairs, through the Student Council, most capably. Tin ' s i-esponsibility has developed leadership, which has been recognized by the election of one of our students as President of the National Student Federation of America, and another as the President of the Midwest Student Conference. These honors ha -e focused the attention of the students of this country upon us and what we are doing. They set a high mark for students of the future to emulate, and make it impera- tive for those now in college not to fall below the high standards which huve been attained.
