Uice-PreAident $teplwn a4. ?reeman 0A sabbatical leave is an excellent opportunity for a teacher to break loose from a routine and stand off for a look at himself and his work. The tumult of new impressions gained from 58,000 miles of travel around the globe has done this for me The common man around the world wants three thingshpeace with a chance to work, self-deter- mination for himself and his country, and an ed- ucation. The United States has an opportunity for real leadership among nations if it can come to understand the basic needs and desires of the com- mon people in every country, in a spirit of mutual helpfulness. To do this, young Americans must learn to comprehend and appreciate their own and other Civilizations and cultures; must acquire a receptive and sympathetic attitude toward other nations, their problems and their different ways of thinking and doing; must master their own lan- guage and the idiom of at least one other people; must be willing to suspend judgment and profit from the ideas of others. This is a definition of a liberal education, such as Middlebury College is endeavoring to give its students. Thoroughly acquired and accompanied by a spirit of human brotherhood, it can solve the ills of the world? r-BCE 14 146k 144mini4tmtion

llAs students in college your KALEIDOSCOPE is a pictorial and verbal record of college life as you have experienced it. As graduates you will on occasion dust off this volume and with mixed emotions look back at the Middlebury of 1955. Over the years to come, like your predecessors, you will return to Homecomings in October and to Class Reunions in June. By 1965 the KALEIDOSCOPE will have become for you an historical recordia basis for Comparison of the good old days with a new Middlebury and with the llpresent generationl, of Middlebury stu- dents. My wish for your and for our college is that you will keep closely in touch with Middlebury; that you will work for the preservation of our good name and that you will take an important part in fashion- ing the Middlebury of tomorrow. The history of Middlebury College is the history of men and wo- menwof the faculties and of the administrations, of the trustees and the alumni, of generous corpora- tions, foundations and friends. The future of Mid- dlebury likewise will be determined by the loyalty and the devoted interest and generosity of you as individuals. If Middlebury is to serve your succes- sors as well, it will be because of your dedicated in- terest and loyalty?
