FROM THE STAFF . . . The beginnings of formal education may be found in the teachings of Socrates from Ancient Greece. The University of Ath- ens may well have been the model for things to come. A stately institution which valued the well-rounded education of its citizens as most important became the founding promise on which higher education would be built. Though different in scope and degree, the Greek University has stood as an example to the modern University. Four years ago Mansfield State College was renamed Mansfield University. Many of the 1987 graduates were members of the first class accepted to Mansfield University. Now, four years later, the university bids them farewell and safe journey. Their time at Mansfield has seen sweeping changes. Along with a ch ange in title, Mansfield found new leadership from Inter- im President Rod Kelchner. In the coming years offices were moved, programs changed, and most importantly students, the heart of the school, came and went. After more than a year of deliberation, the general education requirements were updated to meet the needs of a changing university. And recently a nursing program has been added. The school was stirred up by an NCATE evaluation and the students cheered as the basketball team headed to glory. And now, the academic policies have been rigorously reviewed and revised in the administration ' s White Papers — An Agenda for the Nineties. Finally, word has come that North Hall will again be a functional part of the University. As the symbol for the 1987 yearbook, the staff has chosen the sundial. First, it is a piece of history right out of Ancient Greece and the Greek Universities, symbolizing the wisdom of the early educators. Moreover, it marks the passage of time. As time has passed, Mansfield has flowed with the changes. Often Mansfield has been at the forefront of the academic community. And so, Mansfield looks ahead to a promising future.
