HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR As the surrounding hills in their transformation from brown to forest green reflect the changing seasons, so the year ' s social calendar records the varying events and experiences which make each quarter a distinct and new experience. Yet age ef- fects permanent marks upon nature, and the activities and achievements of past years, both in intellectual and social endeavors, meld to form the foundation for a firm Stanford tradition. The Cardinal heritage absorbs and preserves the unique and individual character of each University year. Ac- tivities which distinguish each year from the previous, mirror the endless variety characterizing life on the Farm. Stanford offers each student full opportunity for self-expression and participation in University activities, if the individual is will- ing to tackle new challenges and to share a part of himself with his group. Beyond the central cycle of books, term pa- pers, and examinations lies a broader sphere of activity par- ticipation, supplementing and offering variety from academic and intellectual labor. Each quarter is highlighted by tradi- tional activities and exciting campus firsts which give new meaning and special color to memories. The 1958-59 social calendar can but record the year ' s events and experiences as printed words. The activities which have distinguished and highlighted this year only gain full significance as they arouse recollections which reflect individual achievement and devel- opment and make each student an active force in Univer- sity life.
