Valparaiso, Our Churchts Great Victory. This glorious truth is now an actuality. Higher schools in America are divided into such as are accredited and such as are not. The former attract students, the latter do not, because the diploma from an accredited institution is accepted by State Boards of Education for teaching positions and by other schools for further study. The diplomas of unaccredited schools are not accepted. - At the last meeting of the North Central Association of Colleges, March, 1929, Valparaiso was put on the accredited list. It was not only taken in, but the Survey Committee made special mention of its faculty, its student body, the quality of its teaching. It entered as a school above the average. So the great critical question of Valparaiso is answered. It has the testimony of being educationally sound and above the average. It can invite the young people to come, in the knowledge that it can give them an education and a diploma accepted any- where. Valparalsots future is assured. J . C. BAUR, S ecretary, Administrative Council. Page twenty-two

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.

THE RECORD 0:: NINETEEN THRYV . Our University is in a period of great development. Like a young giant stretching Immature but already sturdy sinews in anticipation of greater strength to come, the new Valparaiso continues to grow. The past year has been a busy one for administra- tive officers, faculty, and students. We have been straining every fibre to make pos- sible the erection of the much needed gymnasium and to increase our endowment fund to meet the growing enrollment for the next flve years or more. These great tasks have made us all stand solidly together, strive together, and sacrifice together. But our efforts have brought attendant blessings: We have learned the lesson of co-opera- tion and self-denial. And may I add, we love our University all the more! In luce tua videmus lucem. Valparaisds ideals are spiritual. Our progress cannot be built on limestone, brick, or metal. The world will judge our accomplishments by the character of our men and women Who yearly leave the halls of their Alma Mater to assume the tasks and duties of life. Let us remember this truth: The soul of educa- tion is the education of the soul. H. H. KUMNICK Member, Administrative Council Dean of Students. d Y'VW'I'! YtV'I'rV'tv Page twenty-throe
