/4 St-naii (?&(Ceqe
Pro* idert Dale H. Moore, Cedar Crest College, is
the author of the fol'owi.^j article, which appeared in
the Cedar Crest College Bulletin in September, 1955.
The article deals with the advantage that a small
college has in the United States today. He titles his
article "Advantage in Smallness," and this is what he
says:
For the great majority of students at the under-
graduate level, a small college is infinitely to be pre-
ferred. As a rule, in such a college, the admission
and graduation standards are high and the student
who Successfully passes them is of necessity unusual.
The small college has small classes and more individual
attention is available. This careful attention to per-
sonal needs is of great help to the student who might-
otherwise be ignored or neglected. The teaching is
likely to be of the highest quality, with the heads of
departments teaching freshmen courses and not ad-
vanced courses only. In addition, the small college
offers more opportunities for leadership develop-
ment, as the latent capabilities of the individual are
more quickly recognized and put to work. An educa-
tion should be for the whole of life. This is a factor
which can not be overlooked.

Insurance Actuary Work
Open To College Grauates
'SflENCXD INTERVIEW— HE'S £CC£NT£l£, 6\30TED AN' CONSERVATIVE.
HE'LL MAKE A FINE ADDITION TO THE
FACULTY."
NKW-YORK Several hundred^
college graduates are needed each
year to begin work as casualty and
fire insurance actuaries, Albert
SkeWing, secretary-treasurer of the
Casualty Actuarial Society, an-
nouncer! h«re tixluy.
Skelding said that the fire and
casualty actuarial profession,
though not too well known, offers
one. of the most interesting, satis-
fying and rewarding careers avail-
able to college graduates interested
in mathematics.
"To acquaint college stUfKq^s
with the advantages of actuarial
careers, the Casualty. Actuarial So-
ciety has just published a folder
.describing the profession," he
Glared. "These folders tire being
made available without cost Vfo
Undergra^teffTtos all over the nation
through college mathematics de-
partments and placement offices.
"Actuaries are the analysts
charged with keeping casualty and
fire insurance companies in finan-
cial balance," Skelding explained.
"In terms of salary, working con-
ditions and advancement opportu-
nities, few other careers offer such
a good start or so much possibility
fur getting ahead. A< tuaries un-
employed in every state in the
union and they develop a know-
ledge of the insurance business that
makes them logical candidates for
rapid advancement into executive
and mahagetm-nt positions with in-
surance companies.
"Because the profession has not
been widely publicized and because
the casualty and fire insurance
business is expanding so rapidly,
.there are usually more good J>bs
Available each year than there are
applicants to fill them. This un-
usual condition simply enhances
tty:* benefits accruing to those
graduates who do enter the actua-
rial profession.

The question of whether or not President Eisen-
hower will run for a second term is still very much ujb
in the air. But if he does decide to run for a second
term, will Richard-Nixon be selected as his running
mate again? To get the collegian's point of view on
this issue Associated Collegiate Press posed the fol-
lowing question to a representative cross-section of
college students: 1 <
IF IKE RUNS FOR PRESIDENT IN 1956 FOR A SECOND
TERM, DO YOU THINK VICE-PRESIDENT RICHARD
NIXON WILL BE SELECTED AS HIS RUNNING PART-

Students feeling the two will run together again
(if Ike runs) usually'comment somewhat along the line
of a Purdue University (Lafayette, Ind.) freshman who
says "they cooperate very well together." A Uni-
X-^Vesity of Minnesota (Minneapolis) graduate student
says "Why not? He's a good man."
A freshman attending the Richmond Professional
Institute (Richmond, Va.) gives a politically oriented
answer when he says "Nixon is definitely being
groomed as presidential timber, since he is from a
pivotal state having a large electoral vote."
Students who believe Nixon will not be selected'to
run with Ike do so for a variety of reasons. Many
think Nixon has created needless controversy by his
many accusations against the Democrats. ' A sopho-
more coed at the University of Minnesota says "He
has caused a lot of bad feelings and stirred up Wash-
ington opinion against him." .
It ^
"He is not as popular and as .well liked as "Ike"
says a freshman coed attending Regis college (Wes-
ton, Mass.), while another Purdue University fresh-
man feels "He (N.ixon) has traveled more than any
other Vice-President and hasn't stayed in Washington
doing his job enough."
The majority of students feel, however, that if Ike
runs again Nixon will be a "shoo-in" as his running
partner. Perhaps a large share of this opinion can be
summed into the statement of a St. Thomas college
(St, Paul, Minn.) sophomore who says "If Ike wants
Nixon as his Vice-President no one else stands a
chance."

The following is a continuation
of The Bible and Its Relation to
The Development of the English
Language, which appeared in the
last issue of the Rambler:
Being limited to simple language,
the translators had to translate
the technical languagefllkf the
Bible into this simple language.
Thus, old words took <jn new.
meanings because of'their use in
the Bible. Examples are: hell,
shrift, ghostly, flock, shepherd,
sheep, the world, the flesh, righ-
teous, unclean, love, doomsday,
gospel, brother, deadly, sin, evil,
godly, godhead, son, -itingdom,
meekness, forgive, forward, hard
heart. These words retain very
little of their original meanings.
There are still some words used in
the King James Version which
have changed in meaning today.
The Preface to the Revised Stand-
ard Version of the Bible (1953)
lists some of these: let meaning
hinder, prevent meaning precede,
allowr"7l l(';in ing approve, communi-
cate meaning share, conversation
meaning conduct, comprehend
meaning overcome, ghost meaning
spirit, wealth meaning well-being,
allege meaning prove, demand
meaning ask, take no thought
meaning not be anxious, purchase
a good degree meaning gain a good
standing. The preface also notes
that the Greek word immediately
is not only translated immediately
and straightway but also by the
terms anon, by and by, and presen-
ly. The writer of the preface says
that "there are more than three
hundred such English words which
are used in the King James Version
in a' sense substantially different
from that which they now con-
vey." •
Arthur Kennedy lists some Eng-
lish words drawnl from the Hetaew '
• through the Bible. Those mostKear-
ly unchanged are: alleluia, amen,
cherub, hallelujah, jehovah, Jubi-
lee, leviathan, mammon, messiah,
Pharisee, rabbi, sabbath, satan,
seraph, shibboleth". Those which
have been modified are: ass, bed-
lam (from Bethlehem), camel,
cider, cinnamon, damson and dam-
ask (froiji Damascus), earnest
('pledge'), ebony, gopher, Jack and
Jacob, Jesuit, Jew, kosher, li^zar,
mauldin (from Magdalen), sap-
phire, simony, and sycamore.
There are some grammatical
peculiarities associated with the
King James Version. Some of
these may be noted without any
research. For instance, which
may refer to JsArsons (such as the
familiar "Our rather which art.")
There is often a shifting of the
verb to the front (such as Fear ye
not me?"). Stuart Robertson notes
that ye is used" in the nominative
case and you is usnd in^ the accu-
sative "case (as in "Ye in me and I
in you"). . He also notes that its
is not used at all (instead there
are such phrases as "If the salt
hath lost his savor.") One of the
more unusual aspects of the lan-
guage is noted by H. L. Mencken
—the transfer of verbs from the
strong conjugation with vowel
change to the weak without it.
(Digged is the preterite of to dig.)
The most familiar peculiarity is the
use of the third person singular
-eth endings.

Legislation for federal 'aid to
schools was given top plaoe on the
schedule of business for the House.
It may bring a bitter debate over
segregation questions.
Speaker Rayburn of Texas told
newspapermen he hopes to bring a
school construction bill to the floor
in 10 days or two weeks.
The House education committee,
as its final piece of business last
session, approved a bill which
would authorize $400,000,000 a year
of federal school construction
funds for four years.

George Washington's America,
by John Tebbel,- is a portrait of
Washington as a citizen of the
youjjg nation'&nd its most indefa-
tigable traveler. As a young man
George Washington began to tra-
vel, and before he died he saw the
Eastern half of America as few of
Ms contemporaries were able to
see it. He saw it as surveyor,
frontier fighter, landowner, Com-
mander of the Continental Army,
1 President of the United States, and
politician. His travels carried him
from Maine to Georgia. Wherever
he went he found himself involved(1
with the problems and people. of
his ejujiiipg times. As he traveled
he was many men to these people:
symbol of national aspirations, a
rich man, a Virginia gentleman, an
ambitious colonel of Virginia mili-
tia, and to many Arrjericans a
savior and very nearly a godlike
figure.
The scenes of the book are varied
but detailed. First and last there
is the portrait of Washington at
home in his beloved Virginia, artfi
Nhis life at Mount Vernon.
■ Mr. T^Jfoel has written a book
which is compounded of history,
biography, travel and anecdote.
.. Turkey, £y Geoffrey Lewis, is a
contemporary analysis of Turkey:
its history, culture, and economic
development. This book traces the
country from its Ottoman days
through its emergence as a west-
ernized power and to its role of
great significance in Middle East-
ern affairs.
In the first part of the book the
author gives a description of the
interesting and important Otto-
man institutions and the various
Ottoman attempts at moderniza-
tion. Mr. Lewis goes on with an
account of the rise of the Turkish
republic from the ruirtfi^tof the Ot-
toman Empire, bringing the story
down to the present day.
