A college must stand adjudged be-
fore the world by the graduates it
sends out from it's nails each year.
The world knows nothing of it's inner
workings, the traditions, the aims, or
the ideals of a school but forms it's
opinion for good or bad from the men
Or women which each year come into
it from the college or the university.
Every graduate as he accepts his di-
plOma has well set marks and we'll
formed ideas as to the career he will
follow as he goes out to face the
problems of life. The manner, how
ever, in which a graduate upholds
the name and honor of the institu-
ton whose degree he bears will de-
pend largely upon the opinion he has
formed of his alma mater and the
confidence which he places in his abil-
tiles that have been revealed and de-
veloped during his school career.
Whitman college is sending out
from it's halls this year "a young men
and women who are unan NOUS in
their praise of the college and leave
behind the life under it's roof with
many regrets. Following are the
''fareWeils' of the class of 1909.
Whitman has three possessions
which should be perpetuated and
which mas made her what she is;
tradition, ideals and a united spirit
Her students feel the full of these
things and are nObler men and women
and undertake greater work in all
activities in consequence"
Il am glad I came to Whitman and
l am proud to be a graduate of an
institution that has an ideal"
"a school of high standard, Chris
tan Ideals and democratic spirit"
Il would not change for any other
school which 1 know of be cause OF
the Christian ideals and traditions
which the institution possesses"
college of high ideals, excellent
faculty and very choice lot of stu
dents"
Il have the highest regard for her
faculty, her ideals and her ambitions
AS l leave 1 give her my heartfelt
sympathy and best wishes for the
work she is now engaged in-that of
a Greater Whitman"

Though several members of the
class of 1909 have not yet decided upon
vocation they will elect to follow
through life all have acquired a
knowledge alike of their weakness and
their strength. Expressions from
members of the class as to the most
valuable asset acquired during their
life at Whitman follows:
First, the power OF assimilating
and grasping knowledge of a subject;
second, a better knowledge of men,"
First, the Strengthening Of my
ability to learn; second, fellowship;
third, mountaineering with those
outside of college"
Il hope I nave received a broader
outlook on life
Fellowship. Raising of ethical and
moral standards. Ability to acquire
knowledge independently"
Generally speaking broader view
with regard to books and education.
A scent of the trail which / must fol-
low up later if my education - to d"
me any good"
"a wider and deeper sympathy for
the tasks of life; fuller realization
of the word Fellowship
"a knowledge of my own ignor-
ance"
Fellowship"
Broad outlook and application Of
life"
"a broadened idea of the necessity
of altruism among all classes of pet
ple.'
