Excerpt from The Oberlin Alumni Magazine, Vol. 18: October 1921

From the beginning, therefore, book learn ing has not been enough; from the beginning a conception of fully developed humanity has been held at least as an ideal.

The immediate corollary was that women and submerged races should also have here an opportunity to achieve full self-development.

Thus learning and labor became the motto of those seeking a chance for growth. But from time to time other elements of character have been emphasized to correct any lack of balance which a brief motto always admits.

From President Mahan to President King religion has been deemed even more important than labor or learning, in that it supplies mo tive power and direction for both. Only with a belief in the reality of the spiritual-life is either of any significance.

Later, with the Conservatory of Music, the Art Building, and opportunities to study the allied arts, came a realization that imagina~ tion and appreciation of beauty in some of its many forms are also an essential part of life.
