We welcome you to the Nineteenth Annual Session of the
College. Diming these nineteen years it has developed from a
school of th ee or four hundred and a curriculum limited to
one line of *ork consisting of a three-year course above the
eighth grade of the high school, to a college offering nine dis-
tinct courses each leading to the standard Bachelor’s Degree
in Education.
Notwithstanding the disorganized state of business, traffic,
the high cost of living, etc., we have had ona of the most auspi-
cious openings in the history of the school.
While wc have suffered from resignations of some of our
most valuable members of the faculty, our ranks have been
filled by men and women distinguished for their educational
attainments, and I assure you no department is in a condition
to suffer for want of capable instructors.
I bespeak for you a most pleasant, most profitable, and a
most prosperous year’s work with us, and invite you to my
office at any and at all times.
Yours sincerely,
W. H. BRUCE,
President.

NEE1E FRIDAY. OCT. 10
This will he the initial year of
the venerable old College, notwith-
standing her past greatness. This
will be the year characterized with
the highest College spirit, and with
the greatest determination in ac-
tion If history shall continue to re-
peat itself, this, the first year after
the war, will lq* marked with much
new thought and new activities in
every way. The spirit of our school
life will be typical of the times.
"Learn to do by doing" is an old
adage, hut none the less practical
for the present. A literary society
offers a great opportunity to any
one who wishes to put into immed-
iate practice much of what he is
studying every day. The training dp-
rived in such society work is almost
indispensable in business or pro-
fessional life. We hear now that the
l tendency now is to organize. People
— —* are organizing in all business, social
f' «ud vocational activities. Then it
behooves every one to know gnme-
' Hing about the rules of order in de-
liberative assemblies. To become a
member of a literary society is the
best way to learn such procedure.
There is a social feature to liter-
ary society work which no one
should overlook. The programs are
fiilovable, as we|| as beneficial to
