1 The 1961 Presents the MacMurray College Seal 1 I OORDINATE education is a new thing for American Colleges. MacMurray is one of the few colleges in the country which possesses this form of education. Today, the MacMurray Colleges have combined to form one seal for both colleges. This seal includes 109 stars which represent the length of time between the founding of the Men ' s and Women ' s Colleges. The seals of both colleges show what the ideals of the college are. The men ' s college seal shows that each Mac man represents the qualities of wisdom, duty, and reverence. Wisdom denotes that each Mac man has the knowledge of the things which are right or true along with just judgment as to action. When a person acquires wisdom, he is able to cope with the many problems which he faces in his life. He is able to make sound judgments without the aid of others. A person with wisdom is someone who has common sense in the performance of every-day functions. Each member of the men ' s college believes that he is obligated to do certain things. They are bound to this belief through the feeling of duty to their college and to their fellow-man. Every Mac man feels that he must perform certain tasks — not because he wants to — but because he must do so to help build a better world in which to live. The men of MacMurray College possess the quality of reverence. Each student has a deep respect for the rights of others. He is able to get along with more people, because he is able to treat everyone as he himself would like to be treated. The women ' s college seal includes the qualities of knowledge, faith and service. The procurement of this quality makes it possible for each woman student to acquaint herself with facts, truths, and principles. By doing so, she will be able to lead a richer and fuller life when she graduates from MacMurray. Faith allows the woman the confidence or trust in herself, other people, and other things. This quality allows her to be loyal to her fellow-man and to her comrades. She will always be trusted and believed if she can pos- sess the ability of loyalty to he rself and mankind. Any woman who obtains the quality of service will be a success. Through service she will help her nation and the world as a whole. By doing things for others, she will make the lives of her fellow-man more enjoyable and at the same time create a sense of worth within herself. Since MacMurray has now combined the two seals, it will make greater gains as an institution of higher learn- ing. These seals will bring the two colleges together more than ever before. In so doing, MacMurray will accom- plish more through the cooperation of its two colleges . . . through the realization of Progress Through Unity. 2

S a representative of the Unity which leads to both evident and an- ticipated Progress, the Men ' s Senior Class of 1961 receives from the Tartan a welcome, a salute, and a farewell. Without this Founding Class, there would be no significance to our theme, no Progress through Unity. When MacMurray College for Men originated, the eminence of the college was indeed great . . . but ran in a horizontal direction; since then, Mac- Murray has begun to realize and experience a new height of excellence, a revival of spirit, and a sense of renewed progress. We recognize and salute you, Founding Class — the cornerstone which marks our first true steps toward Progress Through Unity. ROW 1: R. Nesmith, D. Kujawa, E. Meyers, A. Quindry, J. VanAmen, N.
