and for knowledge Nor can Wabash fall heir to the title, Complacent College; a vital interest in the important events of our times is an inherent part of the college atmos- phere. To satisfy this hunger for knowledge of current events on the national and international levels, this year the college brought in Senator Barry Goldwater to speak in chapel, as well as His Excellency Mr. Lindt, Amassador from Switzerland, both pictured below.

a group of students cleaned up the basement of Yandes Hall and started presenting informal enter- tainment featuring local talent. Folk singers, poets, comics, and actors from faculty and student body alike performed in the Wild Hare pictured below. At times, outside entertainment was featured. Wabash has always been proud of its own fac- ulty, but at the same time it has never hesitated to bring in outstanding men from other universities and colleges to speak. Hardly a week passes with- out the campus’ serving as host to some visiting lecturer, chapel speaker, or researcher, as witnessed by the visits of Sir Steven Runciman or Dr. Karl Dallenbach, pictured at right. Faculty, students, and local talent cavort together for the dying gasp of the Wild Hare. 18

One of the traditional examples of college spirit is Class Day, at left, held each year at the end of school to honor certain deserving seniors. Awards are given at this time for service for various lengths of time in campus athletics and in certain activities. Special awards such as Big Straw, Big Shovel, and the Big Horn are also given.

Senior Terry Anderson seems to be moved beyond expres- sion by the honor bestowed upon him by the Sphinx Club; he has just received the Little Shovel.
