involves more than the pursuit of a certain course of study.
It means more than preparing for the life that is now.
It has to do with the whole being, and with the whole period of existance possible to man.
It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental and the spiritual powers.
It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come.".
