Three Parts of a Whole: Student Physical,
By paying attention to all aspects of student development--physical, spiritual, and intellectual--faculty succeeded in teaching students to "take father's [or mother's] place." [1] When Reverend Cameron served as the first graduation speaker, he summarized the philosophy that informed school programs. He described "three sides of a life necessarily 'approved of God': Physical, mental and spiritual--any two of them incomplete without the other." "Just as with the physical man, too," he explained, "the mental and spiritual side of life need wholesome food and ample exercise if they would be properly developed." [2] 1. "Taking Father’s Place," was the name of a skit students performed during the school’s first graduation ceremony. "Four Drew Diplomas," Lawton Constitution, May 30, 1912.
