. . . 0F FLUC Marshall is a place of fluctuating crowds. Graduating seniors are re- placed by incoming freshmen. Old faces are replaced by new. Flowing like a tide, the current changes, becomes placid, changes again. And even as the order of life on campus asserts itself, one realizes that change is inevitable. That change is the order. For change is the nature of growth. This growth, this adaptation, is education. The years leave their mark. For every one that fails there are two who have not. Two who have realized that the fluctuation is in themselves. So their departure, at first un- settling, becomes a new education. They leave with an understanding of transitions. At times the parade of unfamiliar faces is overwhelming. Groups of students wander around, green orien- tation folders in hand, sometimes gawking at a campus that will soon seem all too small and intimate. Yet even the greenest among us must experience the painful separation. The dropout, the scholar, the most diehard professional student, all must take part in the fluctuating parade of change. One morning you wake up and realize that graduation is at hand. Thinking over your time at Marshall, you wonder how you have changed, and why. How has your life been altered by the words thrust before your eyes or the thoughts and philo- sophy and opinions that have been your diet? Are you different or have you merely been polished to a more or less acceptable standard at this finishing school of the mind? The mind is swept by memories not of lofty platitudes or multi- syllabic palaver, but by an aura of curiosity. If you are lucky. - 4
