Note: Just thought this was interesting at back-to-school time, and to look at the historical perspective. Not sure of the exact date, but dad was a freshman in college in 1940.
Great Courage Needed To Stay in College
Says Dr. Stoffer
(Topeka Daily Capital or Washburn newspaper)
“It takes a great deal of courage to stay in college in the present times,” Dr. Bryan B. Stoffer, president, said last Friday at the freshman induction chapel, in his address “The Power to See It Thru.”
President Stoffer cited the example of Christ’s necessity for strong determination in winning His battles, pointing out that the same determination is now necessary to survive.
Glenn Cogswell, President of the student council, gave the welcoming address; Frank Eckert gave the response for the freshman class. Miss Betty Heaton played a violin solo, “The Dance of the Marionettes,” by Winternitz. She was accompanied by Betty Collins.
The Rev. L.E. Schwartz, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian church, offered the invocation. Mr. Donald L. Coats played the processional, “Festival Processional,” by Rinck, and the recessional, “Toccata,” by Mailly.
