S i i:S i t:S t:S ti LEADERSHIP A MAN once asked a news-dealer at the railroad station, ' Who is the leading man in your town? We have no leading man, was the reply, We are too blamed smart to be led by anyone. Nevertheless, inquiry should have shown that the town had its share of leading men. In some cases a leader is a boss , and that is what the news-dealer had in mind. In most cases, leadership means best in service and not boss in control . The leading merchant, the leading doctor, or the leading lawyer, in any community seldom has any authority over the fellow members of his business or profession. His title comes only because he surpasses others in the quality of his work. The chance to become a BOSS is small, because America is intolerant of bosses and accepts but few of them. The chance to become a LEADER IN SERVICE is open to everyone who will qualify himself. It should be the high ambition of every man not only to be a leader in his business or profession, but, because of his public spirit and unselfish devotion to the public welfare, to be justly called, Our Leading Citizen . i 1 5 ! « 3 ;f ' i S;;: ' S t 7S: ' ' i f Page 12 ¥ m

' i I hi: il in COLLEGE OF AGRICUTURE SCHOOL OFFICERS George Jones President Ted Joule Vice-President Will Adams Secretary Ed Gildehaus Treasurer THE educational activities of the College of Agricul- ture are so broad as to include not only students registered in the College at Columbia, but also farmers, country bankers, rural preachers, school teachers, and all other citizens interested in or de- pendent upon the agricultural industry for their economic, social, or spiritual welfare. There is no important funda- mental question pertaining to agriculture or to rural living which the College of Agri- culture does not attempt to answer. Its researches embrace economic questions per- taining to the production of agricultural commodities, their distribution and marketing, and in some cases processing for the markets of the world. It is as much interested in the spiritual and intellectual welfare of the rural community. The problems of the rural church, the rural school, and the rural community organization for social progress are all subjects of instruc- tion and investigation in the College of Agriculture. Its widely extended Extension Service brings promptly to the knowledge of its constituents the newest and best knowledge of value to the rural community. Its leader- ship in its field is recognized and appreciated. New Ag Building Page 14
