The College It is acknowledged that each student has his own dehnition of college. 'Each student seeks some- thing particular for himself. As he enters school he may not be cognizant of it ; he may not know even When he graduates. Enrollment is a conversion from name to number, and the student soon becomes just a part of the IBM room. It is disturbing to some-this obeisance to a cold, calculating machine-but others are never affected by its implication. But to each who follows this maze of mass motion there is just one, and that is himself. Confusion reaction, rationalization, frustration, and loneliness are felt by one-by each-student alone. There are, however, opportunities for intellectual, psychological, and social development. There are services available to aid the student in every aspect of his educational career. He Will leave college a different person. How and What he becomes is dependent upon his interpretation of education, his awareness of the services and facilities available, and his use of them.
