PREFACE A LTHOUGH the processes of education have changed greatly since the days of ■ the august philosophers of Greece and Rome, its elementary concepts are today as universal and fundamental in scope as they were centuries ago. Men still approach the realization of ultimate truth through a process of following and leading — the students following the teachers, who in their turn are led by the philosophers — ■ each in his way moving toward a common goal. With world culture in a confused state, the student seeker in the United States finds himself in the unique position of having at his disposal hundreds of the finest educational institutions in the world. These colleges and universities in their physi- cal aspects alone, however, do not disclose the secret of this reality for which he searches, or dictate its fulfillment. To find this is an individual process which draws in its course on not only class-room procedures but from associations and inter- pretations of campus activities. Indeed, there has been no mortal being to transfer its concept to the printed sheet, or voice its reality from the rostrum without a con- trary voice to disclaim his view. So the search goes on. At Kent State University, as well as at all other well springs of learning, there are the seekers and the leaders. The ambitious will dip deep to fill his cup and drink according to his capacity. The well has no bottom and the fee is the same for a heavy draught as for a sip. The environment of this campus, among the most beautiful in the country, has given direction to the study of a steadily increasing enrollment. For these seekers — both the followers and the leaders — the 1948 Chestnut Burr staff has attempted to record as accurately as possible the beauties of the campus and the highlights of the year ' s events. As each class in its turn advances they will look back to the year 1947-48 recorded here as one portion of the journey as the columns move on in the darkness.
