Of course, he was invited to din­

share the dream.
The story began twenty-odd
Y~ars ago when a little tow­

Seven Green Years
Reporting to the Oregon Synod of the Presbyterian
church in his annual message for the academic year 1948-49,
LC college president Morgan S. Odell reviewed the bounti­
ful results climaxed last year of a cautious expansion pro-
. gram begun seven years ago. He saluted the patient efforts
of LC's staff, students, trustees and friends who helped
secure the victory. I
Collective and unified academic, spiritual and physical
development rather than any single salient achievement
highlighted the years contribution to this march of progress,
Dr. Odell report indicated. It was a year characterized by
a sure growth and a gathering on all sides of goodwill.
Academically the college continued its expension in
both quality and quantity. The test of any operation is its
product, Dr. Odell stated, and in the world of competition
the LC product is wearing wen:
Spontaneous spiritual activity, aside from regularily
scheduled religious work, flourished on the campus last
year. A voluntary 'student-faculty discussion met regularily
to consider the work of religion in higher education. Still
more significant, the report indicates, about 50 students are
preparing for religious work.
Music and athletic funCtions were outstanding the past
year. A choir tour through southern Oregon appraised 6,000
listeners of the musical ability of the college's choral depart­
ment. Skeptics found LC non-subsidized athletic program
virtually overpowering as Pi.oneer sportsmen earned champ­
ionships in track, basketball and skiing. The only glaring
inadquacy in the sports department is bleacherless Fisher
Field. ·· '
A $219,000 building program was part of the 1948-49
progress , the report said. A women's dormitory ,. a speech
and dramatics workshop and .a student lunch room and
lounge cpnstituted the building projects.
Dr. Odell's report contained also a look ahead. A com­
plete new college program in elementary education will
highlight the 1949-50 academic year. About 3500 books in
the field of education at a cost of $8,500 will be added to
the college library. Nursing education wi!J be expanded in

A visitor toured the campus
recently· as guest of a summer
school student. Stopping off at
the Shack the stranger noticed a
well-known professor having cof­
fee and asked if that were the
janitor, to which his student
guide nodded absently.
After overhearing a bit of the
instructor's conversation the vis­
itor queried, "You're sure he's a
janitor?-he doesn't talk quite
like a janitor."
"Oh, after they've been around
here a while, even the janitors
acquire a veneer of culture."
