Presidents Message The Christmas Season reminds us again of the blessings which are ours as American citizens While much of Europe and the Orient are suffering poverty and war or the threat of war we in America even the less favored of us have most of the necessities of life and are privileged to live in Our physical resources of soil forests and mines peace are incomparably the greatest upon earth Even more important than these material things is the blessing of freedom vouchsafed to us for all time if we prove worthy of it by the most benign government that has ever graced the earth Our thoughts this Christmas should include a question to ourselves as to our worthiness to enjoy these rich fruits of American citizenship and renewed determination to make ourselves more worthy Back of

enterprise of the deepest religious Christ remains the most heroic figure of significance human history and the New Testament the very charter of white civilization I can conceive of no greatness equal to that which will be ours if we are able to embody this understanding in the lives we live on this blessed campus Faculty Guidance Work Begins Lists Posted Advisers Aid Students “ In' Selecting
