Page 12 text:

lt was fifty years ago this year that Pentecostal Collegiate Institute was rechartered Eastern Nazarene College and moved to Wollaston, Massachusetts. This event began a period of growth that is still going on. lVlany changes have taken place over this period of time in the campus as well as in the academic structure of the college. ln this section of the yearbook we would like to show some of the changes and honor the people that were responsible tor this growth. First we have dedicated a section to the Mansion which has stood at the center of the campus throughout this fifty years. Dr. James Cameron and Dr. Alvin Kauffman have helped to prepare the section on the history of Eastern Nazarene College.

PRESENTATION OF THE SYMBOL This year the 1968 Nautilus has chosen the radio telescope as the symbol of our growing awareness of the unknown which lies beyond. The reason for our choice of this particular instrument is first, that it represents a product of our science and technology which has become a basis of our culture and second, that it illus- trates our search for knowledge and understanding in all fields. The radio telescope emits radio waves which like visible light waves may be ab- sorbed andfor reflected. The radio telescope, however, is mainly a receiver such that signals from outer space are focused at the focal point, recorded, and com- pared to a calibrated standard. Many telescopes of this nature have been placed in strategic locations on earth so that a complete map of the sky can be obtained. We, as students, might be said to be miniature telescopes. Each day thoughts are radiated to us by stars four professor, experiencej. Some signals are re- corded in our minds and calibrated against our own standard of values and mean- ingful ideas, others of low intensity are lost. As telescopes we may only be able to scan a small region of space at a time, yet, information Cacademic, spiritual, and socialh is added daily to our lives. Like the telescope we also emit thoughts and ideas. Some are reflected andfor absorbed by others, some are reflected back to us again, others are lost. For a while we will be confined to a small area of influence but soon we will face the entire sky. We are taught to specialize yet we must not overlook the total per- spective gained from various positions which a liberal education provides. In collecting our data we must be certain that the clouds of prejudice, which may distort the signal, do not appear in our sky. Let us discern carefully the fre- quency of our activity so that Truth may be amplified and not hidden in the noise. For it is only when we focus on Truth that we become fully aware of our mean- ingfulness. But after all we are more than telescopes, we can change our world but only through concern. A flame, a symbol of glowing concern, is placed in the center of the telescope. Like the telescope it also emits light but this light is seen and relevant to each and everyone of us. The flame might also symbolize the Holy Spirit which is reflected in our lives and by our example and witness. lt is through the flame of the Holy Spirit burning in our lives that endows us with the awareness and concern to meet the challenges of the world. 7
