That Is the standard, and the ideal set

accomplish this high end they are

to lead public sentiment but who are
also taught that 1t is their duty to

compendium OF MODERN Creed.
THIS is fair compendium of our
modern creed. believe that it is the
sacred duty of the college to resist this
tendency to reduce all values to ono
crude and sordid level. This does not
mean that the college would impede
our social and economic growth
have already said that 1t is striving to
hasten 1t. II only means that II would
temper II and steady 1t: that II would
inform and invest it with an ordered
sense of economic honor and Industrial
self-respect. 1t does not mean that wo
would strike the heart out of tho
South's onward march to Industrial
power. 1t means that we would estab-
lish 1t upon frmer and more enduring
basis. l do not believe that the South
desires or can afford TO get rich upon
any foundation OF selflshness and dis
honor. Such riches would be as a mill
stone hanged about her neck
l. Finally. L would mention this point
OF agreement: Your work, If rightly
done. is helping to establish g higher
moral standard in business. in society.
in government; so Is our work. Here,
again, your method is in reaching the
masses. Our method is to train picked
men to make warfare for moral right
My plea for college training is not that
1t will increase the earning capacity
or that 1t will contribute to personal
fame and fortune. The sound plea for
college training (and this is true of tho
newspaper also) rests upon the moral
influence it exerts. directly and indi.
rectly. upon the individual and upon
society. No one will deny that money
can be made without education. So
also 1t can be made without publicity
In fact, the very lack of publicity Is
perhaps responsible for many of tho
greatest fortunes of modern times. Tho
college and the newspaper. IL true tc
their mission. will stand for manhood
first and the almighty dollar second
They will proclaim as their joint per-
petual creed high and unchangins
ethical standard Their alliance in this

paper that in this struggle 1t can di
rectly reach all classes and directly in
nuence all conditions Of men. 1t is
the glory OF the college that 1t Is per-
mitted to leaven the lump through a
smaller group of potential men.
In conclusion. have just this word
| concerning the college and the news

arship. 1t must give. aa never before,
