THE LAGRANGE COLLEGE

STUDENT CREED

Life is mine to Live. That I may cherish it

And right royally meet its responsibilities,

I would lay aside that which is

Narrow, selfish, ignoble, and unkind;

The false, superficial, the dishonest

I would shun in thought, word and deed.

Rather may I cultivate in my college life

Those traits and ideals that will fit me

To weave dreams into realities, and impressions

into character,
To meet bravely the hard tasks of life,
To bring joy to those who falter in their tasks.
I would strive to judge more kindly,
Trust more fully, and love more deeply,
That my life may reflect His goodness.
And my soul may grow on the knowledge
Of Him, whom to know is life eternal.

Dr. Waights G. Henry, Jr.
President

To The Students at LaGrange College

To new students and old, we offer a
strong and earnest welcome. You are
now joined with the administration and
faculty of LaGrange College in an
enterprise that will largely determine
what you will do and be for the rest
of your life.

Our faculty is comprised of younger
men and women putting into practice
the thoughts and plans that they have
been eager to execute, and old pros
who have settled for methods that they
feel to have been tried and feel to be
true. Whether young or old they are
dedicated to helping you to find your-
self and your place in a rapidly evolv-
ing social order.

Primarily, along with knowledge and
skills, we wish to help you to develop
a poise that comes from the possession
of a set of spiritual values and satis-
factory social adjustment. Now that we
know where we stand, let's get with it.

Sincerely,

John R. Love
Dean of Students

I want to extend a hearty welcome to
all new students. We're glad to have
you at LaGrange College. I hope your

experience for you.

By tradition LaGrange College has
been noted for its personal relationship
between faculty, administration, and
students. We want you to help keep it
this way. We feel that this close rela-
tionship will make your educational
experience more meaningful and
enjoyable.

In this handbook are some rules that

ALMA MATER

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,

Guardian of our days;
For thy spirit never failing

We will sing thy praise,
High aloft we hold thy banner

Ever loyal, true;
And to thee, our Alma Mater,

We our pledge renew.
In thy mighty groves of learning,

Wisdom's paths we've sought,
High upon thy lofty hilltop

Visions have been wrought.
From our hearts we sing the chorus

Time shall never change,
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater,

Hail to thee, LaGrange.
