'Alumnae Association expenses
are now absorbed in ,the over
all college budget, eliminating
the necessity for alumnae "dues"
for office operation. ; Thus, a
former student becomes V mem

our pride. The remaining ques
tion is the cultural level of our
way of life.' .
In approaching this question
we must admit that the, danger
in the United States today is
standardization, a general level
of mediocrity, or a general over
all middle class culture. Per
haps this 1 is inevitable in a
young country, 4 with no long,
hemogenious culture, of its own;
But we need not be satisfied
with this state of affairs -forever.
We can hope that our
schools will eventually attain
(with increased parental support
s.nd anderstanding) a higher edu
cational and cultural standard,
that our ,1'arge middle class will
interest itself seriously in intel
lectual and artistic progress, at
least to a degree. ,
In countries such as England
and Germany, for examples,
there is' .a homegenity .which al
lows for general appreciation
and study of cultural pursuits,
which is also' traditional, i ;
With such a melting-pot we
have so many , diverse peoples
and groups that we lack this
homogenity and we also lack to
on extent old tradition.
This handicaps us in develop
ing a, culture of our own on a
level' 'with that of' other, older
nations. , It should challenge us
to think along these lines, for
certainly . ; our great material
wealth ' does not automatically
bring with it a, cultured" society,

The question which most often
presents itself to the minds of
those , who read the Book of
Genesis is '"What is the purpose
of Gorf?" ; The Book of Genesis
thrusts this question upon us.
On page after page it assumes
that the purpose of God s ac
tive,? and that it controls the
course of history. It does not
argue the case, but simply states
it as a fact. Thus, in assuring
his brothers that he has really
forgiven them, Joseph says, "You
meant evil against me, .but God
meant it for good." (Genesis
50:20).. '

arise from his understanding of
the will of. God for men, fop he
believes, that God's purpose con

is God doing?" is, therefore," to

day conduct.
In ' thinking of the will of
God, the ' great mistake is to
concentrate on the remote fu
ture, the ultimate destiny of man,
or the final purpose of God in
history. Such complete knowl
edge persistently eludes us. i' If,
however, we follow Joseph's
lead, and focus our attention on
the guidance of God in our own
Dast exoertence and ; what ' this
guidance means for 'the step' im
mediately before our - feet, the
solution of our' present problem
often becomes crystal clear. 1' 1
