San Jose State College - La Torre Yearbook (San Jose, CA)

Eohtoris Massa e Nineteen hundred and sixty-three was a year like most years at State. New students arrived on campus and old ones graduated. There was the rush at registration, the walk to class, and the tears of heartbreak and joy which could be felt and seen after each football game. The Tower bells continued to chime away the hours, days and months. Throughout all this daily activity, the erection of a new era began. State became an educational pillar of the West Coast, and its athletic program was consistent with the best in the nation. Students all over the country were arriving on campus, and the enthusiasm of the student body resounded the cry that this institution be given the title of University. Threats of destruction still hovered over Tower Hall. But though buildings have been built and later torn down on campus, the hearts of the college continued to beat, for as the generations of students have passed by through the century, they have become the life blood of this institution - they have become San Jose State College. The Gradu- ating Class of 1963 will long be remembered for helping to establish this institution in the perspective it is known today, therefore, the yearbook is dedicated to them. This was a year like most years at State, students came by the thousands, and like those before them, they too, fell in line, and joined the procession, which would lead them through the City of Sparta.

WAHLQUIST PRESIDENT THE HERITAGE OF SPARTA Many qualities of the heritage of Sparta commend themselves to our emulation. The Spartans were brave, disciplined, and patriotic . They led lives of proverbial simplicity, dedicated to the defense of their fatherland. But this is not the heritage of most significance today. We should rather be moved to adrniration of their concept of life under law, expressed in their ancient and demo- cratic constitution, written by Lycurgus nine centuries before the Christian era, and in force during all the period of Spartan independence. Individuals as well as nations still settleudisputes by force rather than by law and justice. It is precisely here that the next generations can learn most from the heritage of Sparta: To be ready at a moment's notice to defend our liberty against armed attack, but to Work untiringly to substitute the rule of law for the tyranny of arms.
