POPULAR SCHOOL READY FOR ITS FORTY-FOURTH FORTY-FOURTH YEAR. 1 1 1 w There are some distinctive features of superior valuo about tho Itrlgham Younj; College which few if any other oth-er Institutions possess, and in which tho institution Is destined to maintain main-tain a' lead. These distinctive tea tures have grown out of a ppUO' consistently con-sistently maintained In the pnst, in accordance with the superior Idcati of education held by tho great founder, foun-der, President Brlghnm Young. One of the Inscription' in tin San ford Memorial chapel leads as fol lows.: "There is no narrowing so deadly as the narrowing of u man's horizon or spiritual things No worso 'evil can befall him than '" his coutso on eaath to lose sight of Heaven. Hea-ven. And it Is not civilization thai can prevent this; it is not civilization ' that can compensate for It. No widening wid-ening of science, no possession of ab-1 stract, truth, can Indemnify for an, enfeebled hold on the highest con-i tral, truths of humanity 'What shall ! n man give In exchange for hid soul?"' - 1 TIiIb Inscription expresses the ' great purpose for which tho Brlghnm Brlg-hnm Young College was organized I'ltKKIttENT IIKVDKIWON , -i i i - i i The i'ollfK ieks to train young men and Votnen to Occupy positions of leadership In the g i.r . totiul unn jlvlt nctlvtleg 30 n'ssnrj In guld-Ini' guld-Ini' OT 1-adfng clvlllsr. i uoclet' "in Its onw.ira march t morjl and utellec- (Contlnued on Page Five) PRESIDENT HENDER-I SON CITES FEA- !

But Jt recognizes the high importance of 'these branches, gives the student a start lq,,them nnd seeks to lmpiess upon hlii life what it conceives to be most Important in any brunch of I learning, that is that men and wo- men must have a broad, sympathe- I tic view towaid life.

This t)po of man Is characteristic of the world's great leaders. Washington Wash-ington was a surveyor, Lincoln was a lawyer and tli Apostle Paul was a tint maker. These weie splendid achievements, but they are of lltth consequence lu the sum total of a great man's preparation.

Us policy Is unliiio and distinctive and nino flu-all) flu-all) bo expressed In tho Master's s-reut question: "Is not tho life moro than the meat, and the body than ralmen?t" Tho college Is about to enter on Its forty-fourth year. In all tho years that havo gono tho Institution ha'i developed u high sense of feeling that the responsibility it undertakes j Is Indeed a gtrat one. As the op-' enlng date approaches ever) resourei the school possesses Is In leadlues to dlchurge Its full duty. I The buildings and grounds hnve, had unusual attention. In this h-i guid. the Institution Is in a verk good i condition to hniiso and piovlde for) its student body. Ilut II Is the Internal In-ternal orguul.atlon and preparation that is most significant. We know or some great schools like Columbia University with its "1.000 students and Its whole city of buildings which excellent im they nnv, do not surpuss. In actual merit many ulher schools like Johns Hopkins with Us S00 stu dents or ClurU University with Us :!00. So while the Ilrlgham Young College is not among tho largest Institutions, In-stitutions, Judged from its Internal qualifications, It Is surely among the best In the fields distinctive to It. I do not wish to Impose bv using too much space, but I would like to i point out Just one very Important phase of (he work at the Ilrlgham Young College. A study of our credit cred-it valueB will show that tho Institution Institu-tion does not over value Its courses.. It does not give too much ciedlt for a subject. We could easily point out other Institutions which give a unit of credit to the same course for which wo giro onr a half unit end a. half unit where we give only a quat ter. The result Is that when a student stu-dent graduates at the Ilrlgham Young College he has not been giv en too much credit for llio work he has done. I had the pleasure of having this matter called to my nt-1 tentlon by facility members of tho ' University of California and of Slun-fotd Slun-fotd Unlvetslty this summer At the same time I was Informed that the tho Brlghum Young College does not ' "" : - PfflSft suiTci u sliu-le discount In this nw Epfe guru at elthe.'
