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

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.

MISS C. CORBOY The heart of every person connected with Valparaiso beats just a little faster and louder at the mention of the name of Miss Corboy. A11 rejoice in the pride of having her with us. For forty-seven years she has put heart and soul into Valparaiso. Her iaith and loyalty have forced it to higher things. When the endowment campaign began, Miss Corboy was the first to pledge. The earnest handclaps 0f the students at her words still ring in the auditorium. Never does the person who comes in contact With her, either in school or out, forget her. K. H. HENRICHS With the need for endowment and the con- sequent growth of the school came the need for a man to direct this great work. K. H. Henrichs was called from Concordia College of Fort Wayne in 1927 to become the endowment director of Valparaiso. N0 better praise can be given him than to say that his zealousness and energy has re- warded Valparaiso in a measure almost un- believable. Under his guidance, the goal of a very large endowment and the subse- quent self-supporting condition of the school is now in view. M. CARLSON Page twenty-four She is our Miss Corboy. H. NUOFFER
