University of the Pacific - Naranjado Yearbook (Stockton, CA)

Page 25 text:

NOTHER Naranjado marks another suc- cessful Pacific year. Solomon's temple was erected without the sound of saw and hammer. Pacific on the new campus has never been without the sound of saw and hammer. New buildings are being erected at the present moment, and more are needed. Vfe are not unmindful of the fact that col- leges and universities in America are prone to overstress materialities, and to underesti- mate the value of personalities and the human equation in the educative process. lt is our fond hope that these values are not being neglected. New rnen and women are being added to the faculty, and new courses are being devised for the good of the student and for the benefit of society. Years ago Pacinc was the friendly school. Cannot we let the memory of the ideals of yesterday stimulate us to revive upon the new Campus, even with the larger numbers, the same spirit of friendliness which made the small school with its intimate associations so attractive to those of us who loved Pacific then? All that is needed is the enrichment of our own personalities by being friendly to a larger number. lt is worth while-let us do it! 'TULLY C. KNOLES.

Q' i BOARD OF TRUSTEES OFFICERS ROLLA V. WATT A,,,,,, , ,,,A,- M, p1'QSl.dEfjf GEO. H. HARRIS ..... .,, V ice-President H. E. lVlII.NES. .,....,., ,,,,,, , -,,,,,,,, S ecretary GRACE M. CARTER ..... Assistant Secretary B. C. WALLACE .... 7,,. Treasurer l se HoN. Rott.-x V. WATT. President, Board of Trustees . Deceased, May 15, 1926. HE Board of Trustees comes together three time during the year to handle the important business connected with the college. The first of these general meetings is held during January in San Francisco: the second at Commencement time is held on the college campusg and the third general meeting, where all are present, is held at General Conference. During the interim between these meet- ings the Executive Committee meets once a month in the college dining hall, to take care of the business requiring immediate attention. This body is distinctly representative of the varied interests within the church body. There are three bankers, fourteen business men, one chief justice of the supreme court, eight ministers, two physicians, and two lawyers. It is interesting to note also that out of the thirty-three members of this body of outstanding members of the California Conference Methodist Church, eighteen of them are either graduates, or former students of this institution. The students of the college are deeply indebted to this group and those whose term has recently expired for the tremendous responsibility which they have taken upon their shoulders in engineering the magnificent task of moving a college which had stood in one spot for over half a century, to a new Held where a new college with old traditions in strange surroundings would have to be erected. To those who have watched with amazing wonder at the rapid transition which the garden plot of three years ago has undergone, comes the realization that behind the curtains of this institution there is a tremendous amount of effort being spent in bringing to this great central section of the state. a college, surpassed by none in fmeness, beauty, and ideals. Rolla V. Watt was one of the most remarkable men of thc west in that he built fame and fortune in the center of San Francisco's business activity and yct hc kept his religious ideals to rlic last. He enjoyed the good things of life and yet had a real sympathy for those not so fortunate. He had no children but gave a large pan of his life to rhe care of orher pcoplc's children. He was one of the most loyal supporters of the college. -Dr. Tully C. Knoles. -Hol-
