c COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE WEST CHESTER. PENNSYLVANIA April 11, 1938 To the Members of the Graduating Class: It is wise and helpful to pause and take stock of one ' s achievements - whether they he personal or collective, social or academic. This book is such a summarization. Here are the pic- tured and written records of four years of work and play, success and happiness, things that will pass and things that will last; all the hearty living that has hecone inextricably interwoven with the life-pattern of the Class of 1938. The hook itself is excel- lent. Into it has gone much thought and earnest work. It re- flects credit on both the staff and the college and takes a deser- vedly high place among college annuals. As a closing word, may I remind you that the process of education is not the assimilation of book knowledge and the pass- ing of courses; it is a mastery of an attitude towards your world. You must learn to be discontented with all that is unjust, tmfair, and unbalanced, to champion to the last ditch that which is right. This book will serve to remind you not only of a happy past, but also of the fact that the college stands eager to give guidance and encouragement to the efficient builders of the world of tomorrow. Cordially yours, Charles S, Swop President Tvventv

c TRUSTEES L HE MOVING force behind a living enterprise is very seldom seen, although its tlynamic power is sensed by the most casual observer. This force, which is the driving energy behind the machinery of administration, is responsible tor the degree of excellence with which the enterprise is conducted. A visitor to the Capitol of our nation at Washington is first struck by the beauty and state- Hness of the building. However, there is something in the air, an electric, dynamic something. that is sensed by all who stop to gaze and meditate. This force, this unseen something, is the personification of the j 0f B will of one hundred million people, a will which makes itself t m m knt)wn and which works for the good of these people. So it is with West Chester. Behind all these buildings, these acres, the faculty, the administrative machinery is a force which is working for the best interests of the College. The force, in this case, is the Board of Trustees, the guiding influence behind the scenes, the influence that is making for a better West Chester. Mr. Merrill B. Cann, President John A.
