MR. WINFIELD W. MENHENNETl Sometime ago, a friend handed me a card upon which were written these hnes: Lile IS more than a place Where we chg in the ditch To get money enough To buy food enough To get strength enough To dig in the ditch. It may be true that to some individuals life is not much more than the hopeless, monotonous routine depicted or implied in the above lines. To the Youth of America, college graduates, life is much more than this. College training, living together in a college community, the experiences that bring us in more intimate associations with peoples from all parts of the world tend to make the individual conscious of the fact that life is a real, meaningful living together with individuals of all types of personality. Today, to be tolerant is not enough to give real value to life. To boast that one is tolerant is to set a limit to that individual ' s usefulness in a complex society. There must be active participation, real cooperative living together. From this point on, merely to live and let live is not enough to give life its greatest value. It is very necessary that as individuals we develop the ability to live and at the same time help our neighbor live and enjoy to the highest degree a life that is rich and wholesome. We feel that the class of 1945 of the State Teachers College at West Chester has had the training for this better life. We hope that in the years to come they will prove that life is real and that it is possible to live in harmony with peoples from all parts of the world, each with his own indi i(kial characteristics. iMay a rich and noble life bring to you the joys and rewartls that come (o the true servant of mankind.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES The smooth but silent functioning of the college Board of Trustees is rarely felt hv the student body, though decisions of the Board form the maintsay ot our school regulations, academic and administrative. Monthly meetings of the Board determine school policy, from campus regulations to financial dispensations. Few of us would recognize a trustee if we saw him, but all of us feel daily the results of the Board ' s decisions. TRUSTEES Mr. Raymond S. Siiortlidgk, Prcudcnl Paoli Dr. John L. Johnson, I ' icc president W ' est Chester Mrs. H. C. Donaiioo, Secrclaiy- ' rira.mrcr Chester Mr. vSamukl p. Cloud West Chester Mrs. Anna B. Coopkr Pineville Mrs. Irma I . Ivnauer Poltstown Mr. Aura.m M. Kulp I latfield Mr. Tno.NiAS A. Rilky Wcsltown Mr. Frank I . Truscott Philailclphia - OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Though comparatively few of the student body have occasion to frequent the office of President Charles S. Swope, those who have are always sure of a cordial reception and a pleasant interview. Laden with executive duties as he is, Dr. Swope is ne ' er too l)us ' to spare a lew moments lor an ' student with a problem. In his office, one forgets any president-student relationship and is conscious only of the fact that here is a real friend and a sympathetic adviser. 12
