.Ni fv% File photo Academics is a thorough investment. It seems obvious that the largest investment made is by the students: money, time and energy are entrusingly put forth and expended in order to obtain a most prized possession — a degree. To achieve this, students find they have to abound with energy to survive the academic demands. There never seems to be enough time. Attempting to read all the as- signed chapters . . . denying hours of sleep to squeeze in some early morning study hours . . . extracurricular activi- ties deleting free time . . . fighting nods during endless lectures . . . running on a wild goose chase through the library trying to find that last book to complete a research project . . . attempting to be jovial after a sleepless night of study. It all appears quite costly, even for an education. But do not let this arouse the martyr in you. Other invest- ments are provided on behalf of your education too. Faculty and staff are chosen for the unique insights they can offer in their respective fields. To be a faculty member, one is required to engage in research. Often new leads and break- throughs are made in such areas as medicine, engineering and science. Not only does this aid in solving world-wide problems but it also upgrades the reputation of our school as well as the regard of our graduates. This is only achieved through the continuously painstaking and enterprising work of our faculty. The staff, including those who work in the president ' s office to the employees at Bruff, has chosen Tulane as their working establishment. Just as the students ' incentive is their diploma, the staff also has incentives which compel them to uphold the high ideals which have been tradition- ally set before them. As we look around and observe the outcome, we can see that the accumulated interest from the investments is ex- ceedingly profitable. — Marcey Dolgoff r w Larni Bhclc 4 ' . uuiimui.li. !
