Not only was the Board of Trustees in session but the day, October 5th and two school- warding experiencel day marked the close of the long and magnificent leadership career of W. L. McEach- ran as Chairman of the Board. For the past 37 years he has been a member of the Board and for 34 years he has carried the heavy responsibility of the chairmanship. At a luncheon held in the new and attractive Iac- ulty dining hall, special honor was paid to this great churchman, successful businessman and lover of youth. Words of appreciation were spoken by Dr. Bibb, representing the faculty; Albert Arend, representing the Board of Trustees and by the President. No .words written or spoken can possibly express the deep gratitude that all of us have for W. L. McEachran. A bulwark of strength, a friend of all the presidents and one who put the college and its interests above every- thing else in his life save his faith and his love for the Church. It is safe to say that without his leadership these many years, Whitworth would have been hard put to weather the storms of adversity. By action of the Board he was elected Chairman-Emeritus and will, of course, al- ways be an honored and important member of the governing group of the College. ALBERT AREND NEW CHAIRMAN By unanimous choice, Albert Arend who, too, has been on the Board for much of the time the College has been in Spokane, was elected to serve a three-year term as Chair- man.

Coach Sam Adams doesn't share the opinion of the press as yet. but is high in his praise of the efforts of the entire squad so far this year. Last week the Whits were ranked 17th among the small colleges of the nation on the strength of their showing in four games. At presstime the latest rankings were not yet available.

PIRATES OPEN STRONG Whitworth entertained the strong Willam- ette University Bearcats in the season lid- lifter. Although ranked among the top teams in the nation, Willamette had no strength against the Pirates. Using both the airlanes and the ground the Pirates completely domi- nated the day, ending with a 19 to a win.

As we enter the new academic year at Whitworth College we are motivated to attitudes of gratitude and optimism. The past has given us evidences of the pres- ence and blessing of God. The present sees us with as magnificent a student body as ever enrolled in any college in America. The future summons us to intelligent and prayerful planning for it is big with promise to those who know what to do with it.

Gifts received for the operating budget of the College were at an all-time high. From every source, large and small, their total was nearly $74,000.00 in excess of the previous year.
