1930-1931 Yearbook

TO TIlE STUDENTS OF I [ARDINe, COLLEGE Should Harding College live? This should be determined by the service she is rendering. If she does not fill a place of needed service, she does not deserve to live. If she is not doing a service for you and, through you, for the world-a service that is nOt being rendered by any other institution in her section of the country-all of the sacrifices made for her arc made in vain. Why should a group of society struggle to found an institution III a territory already occupied by state colleges and universities that arc well equipped and well supported by taxation? Ie goes without saying that the founders and supporters of Harding believe she is rendering a service that you cannot get elsewhere. Tr is thi s conviction that has prompted every sacrifice made for her. But is the institution really doing this thing? You-you, her students - are the answer to the query! If YOll arc not a different product from what you would have been had you gone el sewhere to school, our labors and sacrifices are lost. I t all depends lipon yort. In a few weeks you will be sifted into the soc iety of twenty states and Canada. If in that society you exalt in your lives the fundamentals of Christianity and build in your community a deeper reverence for Goda reverence and piety not seen in other college students; if you stand for the ideals and principles of Christ, our Lord, and supp:>rt in your community His church, Harding College has vindicated her right to live and every faithful sou l should rally to hcr causc. We believe in Harding and in yOll. BROTHER ANO SISTER ARlIo'ISTRONG.
