BF w I i « 1 n a ci fl u X I ■ A THE CHINOOK OF Z2 □ngn nnh lu t 7T M rsc ' HGS lte f caB»r: ADMINISTRATION O FTEN in the past, the college graduate has been cartooned as a “sissified” youth, or an empty-headed young woman, showing great enthusiasm for the latest dance, the newest and cheapest novel, or a mock-heroic interest in great economic and political problems which they know nothing about. At one time the public laughed at such descriptions and was inclined to believe them true. But today the world knows better. It is significant, I am sure, that this college graudate of the traditions has never by fact, hearsay, or cartoon, been identified with the State College of Washington. From lhe beginning, the State College has sent from its doors, young men and women who believe in “the gospel of labor,” and who are eager to take their places in business and industry. Usually, these young people accept at the begin¬ ning, very modest positions and remain in them until, through industry and ef¬ ficiency, they prove their worth and are advanced to larger and more important positions. The State College has preached against the theory that “money” should be rhe single basis for judging the success or failure of any one. A man may be successful in money-making, but fail in all else. One may fail financially, but suc¬ ceed in making the community and the world a better place in which to live. Upon the other hand, it should not be assumed, by State College graduates, or others, that the money-maker, merely because he IS a money-maker, should be looked upon with suspicion. Obedience to law and order has, in the spirit fostered by the State College, the force of the Golden Rule. Someone has said that we are living in a world whose material prosperity has outgrown its commercial law and commercial ethics. This undoubtedly is true, but the only way in which permanent changes can be made in our democracy is through the regular legislative processes at the state and national capitols. To advocate any less orderly procedure is a violation of ihe fundamental theory upon which all democracy rests. In a word, the State College of Washington considers a man or woman suc¬ cessful who is able to become economically independent; who assists the com¬ munity to rise to higher social, educational and economic levels; who does not consider mere financial success as necessary to the rendering of great service to one s community; and, finally, who stands for good government and the orderly changes in our laws.
