viously do not meet the stand
ards maintained by institutions
for whites Can we rise above
selfish motives and littleness in
what we do in relation to our
respective colleges? Can we
stand the tearing down that may
have to occur in our personal
lives and in our institutions and
organizations before the new
world can become reality?
1t we really lived up to the
best we know, would it make any
difference in our relationship
with people wherever we come
in contact with them Would it
make any difference in the way
in which we do and do not spend
our money; in where we go and
do not go; in what we say and do
not say? Can we see ourselves
as important in the world, Just
as important as anybody else; and
yet, no more important in the
sight of God than any other one
person? These are uestions which
invite us to creative living.
The prophecy was contained in
a commencement address read
several years ago. The address
was centered around the thesis
that the very conditions which
have made life difficult for the
Negro may have conditioned him
for leading the other peoples of
the world out of the wilderness.
The Negroes patience, long suf
fering, and ability to do good to
them that hate him are charac-
istics which form the core of
Christian living. He has devel
oped these characteristics in the
midst of waging a relentless
fight for his rights as a human
beirg. The statement of they.
W. G. A. delegate from Burma,
previously referred to, looks very
much like the beginning of
fulfillment of this prophecy.
Would it make any difference in
your attitude toward life if you
really believed that you are a
part of Gods plan for history?

their opportunities, or do they
leave it to others to carry the
load while they feather their own
nests while being lulld into n

education helped US in facing

tive in setting immediate goals
will lead ultimately to the goal
of society? Do we set stand
ards of conduct, politically, So

destined to influence others for
good, or are we insensitive to the
demands of our age for a new
set of values? Do we belong to
or support organizations which
have something to offer that
makes a fundamental difference
in peoples lives?
Can we look at our colleges in
the perspective Of the total
needs of the people of the state
and the nation and recognize
their strength and weaknesses as

LAKESIDE DEBT
SLICED DURING
PAST SEASON
Courtney and Miller Report
1949 Season Was Superior
To Previous Year

DR.. H. w. Courtney has been
reelected general manager of
Lakeside, with K. E. Miller as
business manager and Harry
Knorr as manager of the Lake
side Hotel. Appointments were
announced last week at the an
nual meeting in Marion.
All officers of the Lakeside
board of trustees were also re-
elected for the coming year. DR..
r. j. Humbert, Youngstown, is
president; E. S. Mason, Cincin-
natl, vice-president; Henry Wer-
ner, Rossford, treasurer, and x.
f. Miller, Lakeside, secretary and
assistant treasurer.
Indebtedness of the Lakeside
Association has been reduced from
100000 to $115,000 during the
past seven years, DR.. Courtney
told the trustees. Included was
$1,000 paid off during the past
year.
Mr.. Miller reported the past
year was very good financially
with net operating income of over
$4,000 and $4,000 received in
contributions for special improve
ments. Net operating income for
1949 was nearly $4,000 over the
previous year.
AS Lakeside is chartered as a
non-proft corporation and all in
come must be used for debt re-
duction and improvements, the
Lakeside Association has spent
more than $4,000 in capital i'm
provements during the past year,
DR.. Courtney stated.

It seems to me that they are
building staircases sleeper thar
they used to. The risers are
higher, or there are more of them
or something. Maybe this is be-
cause it is so much farther today
from the first floor to the second
floor, but I've noticed it is get
ting harder to make two steps at
a time any more. Nowadays it
is all can do to make one step
at time.
Another thing I've noticed is
the small print they're using
lately. Newspapers are getting
