THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE College graduates, unable to find remunerative employment, sometimes ask: “What is an educa¬ tion for?” Certainly it ought to increase one’s earning capacity; certainly it ought to help one find employment; but such results are by-products of education. The main output of the right kind of education is an increased capacity to serve, and to enjoy life in its higher reaches. The tire-repair man in the humblest filling station is rich if he is properly educated; the owner of Standard Oil is poor if he is unacquainted with life’s invisible values. College is a mine “where purposeful youth seek and find the richest treasures of life—knowledge with its unlimited relationships and significance, self-control with its constant accretion of power, idealism with its inspirational stimulus, friendship with its stabilizing and satisfying influence, and a philosophy of life that puts all things in their right places. Those who fail to find these and other like values in college fail to use well the tools at then- command. If my student friends this year have uncovered, each for himself, some of the rich veins of precious values that lie hidden in college life, they will not debate with themselves about what education is for, nor regret the effort and sacrifice that have been made in its pursuit. Having had this year a fine opportunity to enrich themselves, they are now ob¬ ligated to increase their new-gained wealth by dis¬ tributing it among others. }. A. Hill, President.
