President Wilson Compton “The most powerful weapon in the world is the human soul on fire.” These are the words of Marshal Foch. The spirit of these words won the first World War. The same spirit can win world peace now. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” These are the words of the Apostle. They have encouraged millions of men and women over thousands of years. You came to the State College of Washington during tragic years. The war has ended; but the tragedy has not. The world gropes for peace; our Nation for security; and the Pacific Northwest still says to you: Give me men to match my mountains; give me men to match my plains. W.S.C. has tried hard to put the lantern into your hand; through education and training to give you a better chance; to encourage you to hold fast to the ideals of responsible citizenship in a free society and always to do your part. I hope, as you go from here, that you will go with fire in your souls and with faith in your hearts; and in the years to come, when perhaps from time to time you will need encouragement, that you will always think of Washington State College as having “its hand on your shoulder in a friendly sort of way.” WILSON COMPTON. 19

Board of Regents The task of faculty appointments, and the direction of policy, operation and mainten¬ ance of the State College of Washington belong to the Board of Regents. Efforts of the group are constantly directed toward making the college a more efficient and outstanding educational institution. One of the most important activities of the Board in 1948 was the awarding of the contract for the construction of the new Ernest Holland library, a four-story struc¬ ture to be built on the site of the “crib”, the original school building at the State college. President of the Board of Regents is Walter J. Robinson, of Pomeroy, Wash¬ ington. President Wilson Compton of the State College is secretary ex-officio of the Board. WALTER J.
