The objectives wit a Christian scheme AS EXEMPLIFIED BY VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY ll TO the glory of God and in recogni- tion of the faith and vision of the men and women who organized the Luthe ercm University Association in 1925 to foster Christian higher education at Valparaiso University . . . thus reads the inscription on the granite boulder set up on the campus on June 15, 1935, to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the first venture of Missouri Luth- erans into secular higher education. To the ideals expressed by this in- scription . . . to the far-sighted indi- viduals who are now seeing the real- ization of their fondest hopes . . . to Christian companionship, fellowship, and truth . . . to the principles on which our school is built . . . we re- spectfully dedicate this UHLAN of the year of our Lord 1940.

In the irst c q In IUGHCGS O 800d e are duickly elt . . . . It is September; young men and women everywhere are answering the call to college campuses from coast to coast. Here at Valparaiso the immigration has just begun. Howdy, Dick! Hi'ya, June! Did you kids have a good vacation? Such greetings as these are being exchanged all over the Hill. Wherever individuals or groups gather or pass, friendly greetings and cheery words are exchanged. There seems to be something in the air that prompts such friend- liness on the part of even rather reserved indi'viduals. There must be something about the Christian atmosphere which makes it such a pleasure to come to our school and such a sorrow to leave it. Yes, there must be something which makes Valpo such an effective sub- stitute for our homes for three-fourths of the year.
