GENERAL INFORMATION
cash to be given to that young man making the best showing
in a contest to be held on the night of April 2nd, each year.
Only regular students of the college who passed in at least
twelve hours, and who were registered for at least fifteen hours
during the winter term just closed are eligible. Each class in the
college (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior) shall be
entitled to two representatives in the contest. Each class is to
select its own representatives in a contest to be held not later
than the last Monday in March. A winner of the prize is not
eligible to enter the contest again.
The judges for the contest shall be selected by the President
and Dean of the college and the head of the Public Speaking
Department.
As a second prize F. B. Shepherd is offering a handsome
Bible.
COMMENTARY
McGarvey's New Commentary on Acts will be presented by
President Baxter, to the preacher-student who makes the highest
grade in all work for the entire session.
REWARDS
No student will be eligible to any of these rewards who has
not been taking at least 12 hours in the College or three courses
in the Academy since the first of the school year in which the
contest is held. No graduate or person holding a certificate
from the department under which the contest is properly classed
shall be eligible for a reward. This does not prohibit a graduate
from one department participating in a contest which is
properly grouped under another department.
GOVERNMENT
It is the ambition of the college to establish in the students
those high standards and ideals of conduct that inspire them to
live lives of true helpfulness and genuine refinement. To this
end the emphasis of control is placed not upon outside authority,
but upon the inner sense of responsibility and duty normally
residing in each young person. The college will, therefore, endeavor
to surround men and women with that atmosphere which
will engender, encourage, and foster in them a sense of their own
worthiness and dignity which they cannot afford to violate.23
