r Let your light shine, the Greek inscription on the official seal of the University of Colorado, is in truth what the University endeavors to teach its students — the aspirants of knowledge and maturity. College is the doorway to the world, and upon graduation the student must show the qualities which he has developed, that is, he will then have the opportunity to let his light shine. By means of graphic presentation, the integral parts of campus life at the University of Colorado are expressed through the various sections of this book. By the able hands of the administration and faculty, we attain knowledge within our own grasp. The pace- setters are those of us who are indications of the tangible evidence of meritorious achievement. All students are members of classes, which are, besides the acknowledgment of academic standing, a source of unity that will persist long after smaller groups are forgotten. Activities and organizations are utilized by students to show their creative instincts, their desire to contribute to the work of a group that is powerless without cooperative spirit. Spirit of courage and loyalty to the University is at- tained through athletics, whether or not the participants are in the grand stands or on the playing fields. The col- lective unity and closd association in the dormitories are qualities best developed through the medium of the residence halls for those who have some common interest toward the mutual benefit of all. To cultivate the ideals of friendship, brotherhood, and comradeship is the fundamental aim of fraternities and sororities, which demand the acceptance of responsibilities by their members in order to fulfill this end. Individuals learn that there are times when they must bow to the will of the group. With the brilliance of success looming before us, we cannot but yield to the demands of our University, the path- way of our shining light. As the late President George Norlin once stated, What the University purposes to be, what it must always strive to be, is represented on its seal, which is stamped on your diplomas — a lamp in the hands of youth. If its light shines not in you and from you, how great is its darkness!
