i 1s arich heritage which my predecessors have left to me. This heritage is not chiefly in brick and stone. It is in the high standards incorpor- ated into the student morale of the University. Nothing can prevent achievement when students want toachieve. Great obstacles can be overcome if students want to overcome them, but insignificant difficulties can block progress if students are looking for excuses for low achievement. Building on the fine student spirit of the past, it is my hope to see cooperation between the students and the faculty grow ever closer and closer to the end that each student shall attain to his own best self. In such an undertaking, the teacher can guide, but the student must pull. When the teacher must drive, then the learner is not a student. Idaho will continue to exist for students.
