In selecting Clark as the place to continue your education you have said, “I believe in the aims and ideas for which Clark Col lege stands, and shall strive to uphold its principles.” Now that registration is over and you are enrolled in the larg est class in Clark’s history, stop and ask the question, “Why did I come to college?” If you came to socialize, to participate only in sports, or to be a “book worm,” then you have the wrong conception of college. The pur pose of college is to develop a well-rounded personality. So cialization without an educa tion or education without socialization will not aid in this development. First, apply your self diligently to youf studies, "UiTtJII "LiiKB pcX-rtT^j-iT t/lrc. c* ricular activities afforded by the campus. By so doing in 1948 you will go forth better prepared and equipped to meet the demands of the world. Remember, you are privileged to continue your education while others die to maintain this priv ilege. It will be you to whom the world will look for guidance —strive hard, think soberly, aim high, and in twelve months you will be known not as “green- crabs,” but as intelligent sopho mores. —W. E. T. Dedication The Panther Staff takes pleas ure in dedicating the first issue of the Panther for the 1944-45 school year to the historic fresh man class and to the many new students who come this year to study at Clark College. This is sue is also dedicate to the new members of the faculty with the expressed hope that they will still share of their knowledge with other students as they en ter Clark for the first time. Our Policy The policy of the Staff is: To print the views and opin ions of the student body. To act as a means for student expression. To encourage the students of Clark College to make regular contributions and to share with the other students their talents. To do these things it will be necessary for the entire school to co-operate—to see to it that news pertaining to students and of interest reaches the Staff’s of fice in time for publication. We depend upon you to keep the news rolling and we will let you see it in print once a month. The College Ward Is Too Full —Of students who think a class room is a Pullman with a few sleepers and an observation sec tion. —Of athletes who think that brawn makes up for brains. —Of Campus Leader Climbers who get offices and then never do a bit of work in them. —Of Staff members who must “grandstand” officials to keep their jobs. —Of Alumni who always talk about the “good old days.” —Of one-track mind students whose sun rises and sets in the narrow confines of Greek Letter Organizations. —Selected. Our Motto The college was given its mot to by the late Doctor William Henry Cogman, the first Negro to be hired by the Methodist Episcopal Church and the first Negro President. Dr. Crogman’s years of service to the institu tion numbered forty-five years —thirty-eight years as a teach er and seven years as college president. Deadline for December issue, November 15, 1944.
