HENRY BAKER BROWN Realizing that the democratiza- tion of higher education depends not upon bringing the youth to col- lege, but upon bringing the col- lege t0 the youth, Henry Baker Brown fifty-seven years ago estab- lished an institution Which gave all young men, rich and poor, an equal chance to develop their possibili- ties to the fullest extent. Such a noble institution under such cour- ageous leadership did much to break down the barriers of class distinction, then common, and brought to our country a true de- mocracy, not only in education, but also in our entire social existence. By his living example he brought to thousands of men the ideal of a true Christian life of service and helpfulness. Vivfo THIRTY OLIVER PERRY KINSEY Mr. Brown found in Oliver Perry Kinsey a loyal friend and fellow- Worker. Mr. Kinsey became vice- president of Valparaiso University in 1881 and added his keen sagacity and business acumen to the found- eris energy and ability. He was thoroughly in sympathy With the ideals of economy and democracy upon Which the school was based, and devoted his talents to the realization of these ideals. His kindly personality and the personal interest he showed in the lives of his students have made him live, With the president, in the hearts of all Valparaiso alumni today. Page nineteen

Here we are with The Record of another scholastic year before us. What mo- ivated and actuated the happy Valparaiso family of students and instructors in all their curricular and extra-curricular activities? In general we labored with hearts and hands united in a common task to realize five Valparaiso ideals: academic training under Christian influence, superior instruch tion, dominated by spiritual principles, love of scholarship which is careful and exact. health of body and of mind, dedication to service in the interest of ones home, oneis church, and ones community. Our maxim should be: ttThere can be no true culture without personal Christianity, no true mental or physical development, of lasting value, which is not motivated by Christian faith and love? But what about achievement? Time alone will tell how well we are building right habits of heart and hand into Pasteurs, Livingstones, Marshalls, Nightingales, and Linds. Meanwhile, our parting word to the Senior is hBe true to Valparaiso idealsfy and his farewell to the University family, uCarry on! F. W. KROENCKE, Chairman Administrative Council Dean of University.
