111 S v 1 - - mqnffiqld umvemw Mansfuemd PA 16933 Symbolism is an interesting concept. A study of the symbols that are meaningful in our culture can provide numerous useful insights into our past. Currently, the Statue of Liberty is the subject of much attention. That soon to be restored monument is a symbol that conjures a variety of images. To some it is a mammoth sculpture, to others a sign of freedom. to others the representation ofa new life. Its res- toration will enhance its appearance, but its strength as a symbol will endure. Some of your memories of Mansheld University will include symbols. The books you read, the uniform you wore, your class ring, the jewelry that represented a special organization, selected buildings that were important to you. each of these are symbolic. For many, the diploma itself is the paramount symbol of a university education. To many generations of Manstieldians, North Hall has been an important symbol. Like the Statue of Liberty, it provokes a variety of feelings. To the thousands of students who remember it as their residence hall, it was a home. To those who took meals there, it was the site of endless table conversation. Some remember it as a bookstore, a computer center. a print shop. practice room. studios, a meeting place, office for faculty members. a post office, and the location of yet other services. To most members of your class, the symbolism of North Hall will be different. It may be the only link to Mansfield 's past that is available to you. It may represent frustration, for the efforts to restore it can produce that emotion. It could be the symbol of hope - the hope that soon North Hall will become a useful part of our campus. It may depict mystery and curiosity. It sustains the legend of The Ghost . The memories of Old North will vary, but I suggest that none of you will forget it. The future of North Hall. just as yours, is unpredictable. Its interior may be redesigned to accommo- date new functions. Its exterior may be refurbished to enable it to persist. lt may give up its location to another structure or to a park place. However, its character and its symbolism will continue to be a part of our University. You too will change. Your physical appearance will be altered. Your interests, your vocations and advocations will vary. Your life style will be modified. However, you will remain a part of Mansfield University. I'm glad that you were among our students and I hope that you treasure the symbols that have special significance to your Mansfield experience. Presidentf7
