The value of college, he stated. Is that it offers a situation in which the student can acquire quickly facts and experiences which he would not acquire in a lifetime of informal, unorganized study. Mr. Putnam summed up the traits of an educated person as including correct use of the language, knowledge and appli cation of the principles of health and sanitation, wholesome atti tude toward responsibility and privileges, a happy home and community life, ability to make a living, an understanding of the economic and social order, active appreciation of the arts, well balanced ideals of kindness and aympathy for others. R. C. Groesbeck, representing the State Board of Higher Edu cation, urged college students to rut as the highest goal the achievement of cultural qualities that make the educated mind, and second to this to strive for those specialised skills which are tools of work. Diplomas were awarded by President Walter Redford. Music was furnished by the Treble Clef choir directed by Miss Louise Woodruff and accompanied by Mrs. Catharine Lee Hufman, and the college instrumental ensemble directed by Irving Mlrick. Mr. Fitzgerald was one of Sams Valley's "old timers" and will be greatly missed by friends and neighbors. He was laid to rest in the Pankey cemetery.
