V A L I S T On Achievements in Scholarship CLASS ES We all know that achievement in scholarship is important. At some time or other during our college careers, whether we are Phi Betes or play boys, we realize that studying and class attending are at least the ostensible reasons for our presences here. We may not place scholar- ship first — we may save our studying to do at midnight if at all. However, those who do con- sider scholarship an important part of college have many goals to work for here at Miami. Membership in department honoraries, school honoraries, and general average honoraries en- tices them. v Furthermore, no matter what sort of view we take toward classes, we all are planning for our lives after college and know that our achievement in our classes here, not just the honors we win but what we actually learn, will be of importance then. The whole set-up of Miami — professors, advisers, and administra- tion, is designed to help us make the term achievement in scholarship have more mean- ing for us. Whether we are to be well-equipped or not by our college training is up to us. n A h i e V e m e n t s n Sports m a n s h i p ATHLETICS Many a man, and woman too, has looked back at his college career and blessed the star that made him go out for the baseball team or play intramural basketball with his fraternity team. Not just because of the fun he had, or because it kept him in good physical condition, but because froiB:: these ences he learned lessons o f good sportsmans have applied to many situations in his post gradiia tion life. The goal of Miami athletic officials has always been to encourage real sportsmanship, not only among the members of Miami ' s teams but among the members of the student body as a whole. Var- sity teams are encouraged to win for the glory of the alma mater, of course, but always emphasized is the fact that a game is after all only that and should be regarded in its true proportion. To pro- mote good sportsmanship among the rest of the students fine systems of intramural sports are or- ganized for both men and women. If you ' ve learned what it means to be truly a good sportsman, if you know how to be a good loser and a graceful winner, then you will feel that you have really achieved a great deal by participation in col- lege athletics.
