We have looked forward to your coming for sev eral weeks, and it is, indeed, with a great deal of pleasure that we Welc6me you to our earnpUs and to your campus. We hope that you will attend some of our classes. Think back a few years. Put yourself in the same place that you were at that time. Visit our club rooms, the Y. W. and Y. M. Make yourself one of us for this short period of time. Many of you are from the homes of the students and are personally acquainted with a few of them. If you have any questions or favors to ask, do not wait to find some one that you know, but ask the first student that you see. He will be glad to accommodate you. We believe that you are the connecting link in the chain of the home, the church, and the college. We are especially pleased to have you as our guests and! only wait to da yOHP iMtlfiifIg', -E C- WE ARE BUILDERS “Heaven is not reached at a single bound ; Blit we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the lofty skies, And we mount to its summit round by round Only in dreams is a ladder thrown From the lowly earth to the saphire walls. But the dream departs, the vision falls, And the sleeper wakes on his pillow o£ stone.” When one thinks of builtUng, one of the first things he does is to select an^ architect. This he does with great care, because if he makes a mistake in the beginning, he will always regret it. Some builders of life structures seem to choose the devil for their aichitect. All that they do is worthless. T_heir works hinder rather than advance society. They ha^'e chosen the devil’s angels as his assistant, assistants are the ones to whom they go with their questions, assistants, read and interpret the architect s blue-prints. Selfishness is their foreman. He sees that all runs smoothly. When any subject is mentioned, the first question is. How will this benefit me? If it doesn’t benefit him he eliminates it immediately. There is never a thought for others, only for self. Selfishness always sees that his subordinates are kept buy. Greed, his assistant, is very prominent. Quantity is his motto Whether at the table or fountain. Greed want the largest cup, he W'ants the most that he can get. Arrogance never thinks of the smaller person or the weaker sex. He bolts straight through the crowd, never looking to either side He was a bully when a boy, and still is. Some have the .superiority complex. They think that they are head and shoulders above the crowd: people must look up to them they must have the best of everything. Some are pessimists. They are always looking backwards Nothing is going right; the world is growing worse and mankind is deterioating, according to them. Then there are the narrow-minded. They can see only one side of anything. Their vision is limited. They are not open to conviction Wouldn’t it be much wiser for us,' as members of a Christian nation, to take God as our architect instead of the devil; to take J Jesus as His assistant and interpreter instead of the devil’s angels; to take unselfishness as the foieman, instead of selfishness ; and to take as assistants or helpers for the Foreman; Liberality instead of Greed; Sympathy instead of Arrogance; Equality instead of Superi ority-Complex; Optimism instead of Pessimism; Broadmindedness instead of Narrowmindedness? “We live in deeds, not years; in thought, not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial,. We should count time by heart-throbs; he most lives Who thinks most, feels, the noblest, ;a(Sts t'he best.” Play Ball ! ! ! The inter-elass basketball tourna ment is a wonderful success this year. All the games deserve a lengthy and minute write-up; but since ‘‘Red” and “Hank’' allow me only one column to spread all my slander, air the campus troubles, and write the account of the games, you see I don't liave room for ’em all. I will Just give you a repre sentative game between the aspiring juniors! and the dignified seniors. At the toot of the whistle, the game started with a mad rush. Underhill, facing Veasey at center, got the tip-off. Hudson received the ball and passed it to Robertson. Toot! ! toot! ! ! Two points for the juniors! Rah! rah! Thrills! ProTii that time on throughout the game it was a nip and tuck affair with the exception of a few minutCR time wlien the seniors had a 59 point lead on the juniors. But the green and white kangaroos were soon overcome by the star shooting of Cannon, who tossed goals from all angles of the court. The first’ half ended 187 to 186 in favor of the old rose and gray byesnas. In the second half Veasey did some stellar work for the kangaroos, but he was outclassed by the sure aim of Hudson.

Major Hudson. Instructor. “Oscar,” official reporter. Dr. Alexander’s sermon for January 22 was on the subject “Life Develop ment.” The personal elements enters strongly into this issue of life develop ment. The choices we make are also determining factors in the scheme of things. Be a dissiminator of truth. Let nothing hinder you from giving the needy man the message of God. Above all else strive to please God. The Sunday evening service was held under the auspices of Y. W. C. A. with Miss Laverne Cotney presiding. An o^en forum was conducted by Presi dent W. A. Harper. His subject was “The Objective of Higher Education.” There was no uncertainty in the begin ning as to the objective of early higher education. The fundamental objective was religions in nature. The outstand ing characteristic about our present day colleges is the prevailing question as to what education is really for any how. No matter how a man teaches, he is making for a better or worse world. One definition which was given for edu cation was “Continuous conacions evolution.” An author says. “Clear thinking should be the main issue in education.” We don’t know where we are headed in education. We are con vinced that it is fashionable to go to college. Four o'bjectives looked at historically are: (1) education is knowledge, (2) education is discipline, (3) education is repetition. (4) educa tion is controlled and enriched experi ence. Dr. Harper ailded a fifth ob jective that of Christian Education. We must never lose sight of the fact that we deal with the soul in Christian Edn- catiou. It aims to impart certain use ful kncAvledge. It is particularly con cerned with making present day situa tions more rich. It is a motivation of life. The first Christian institution was composed of those twelve who gathered around Jesus. These men were thor- oughly prepared for their place in life. Peter’s training gave him Christian stability. John and Matthew were honor men in this institution. The gospel according to Matthew is the magna charta of the Christian church of today. Who. is the educated man? Is he the man who knoT\’S the Latest in weariug apparel? Is he the man who can go out on a party and consume more alcoholic stimulants than his associates? Is he the man who is called a “card shark'’! Is he the man who holds a sheep skin in his hand? Jn determining an educated man, more than just these few questions have to be taken into consideration. At this; point, I am reminded of some boys back home; perfect gentlemen the; are, knowing nothing but just “gooi times.” They don’t have to worry about examinations, nor about eatchiDf eight o’clock classes. To them, time is cheap. What pleasures they have, How the boys in college envy them! Please keep in mind, kind reader, that “As ye sow’, so shall ye reap.’^ It* you could only realize the pleasures that are in store for you! Yes, you ar® tugging hard now, but when you complete your AS'ork in school and set tle down, you will realize that the “white collar mavv^- -is the. ^ man. Those goo'd boys back home who have Dad to buy their car and gaBoline, will wake up some morning in sad dis appointment. Dad will Ije gone; and may I ask you, what will become of him who has sown thoughtlessly? Draw your own conclusions. Of course, we know the educated man has studied extensively, but the real pleas* ures that are derived from an educa tion are only to be found by him ■who takes advantages of bis opportunities.
