TRADITIDN xi-3 QP. 4 51 , ..-.un -a . as Scotsmen and Scotswomen and their yearly histories are duly recorded by the Scotsman, the annual. The Scottish theme is even carried out in the men's residence halls where each living unit is named after an authentic clan, chosen from an official list. The clan system is a very appropriate arrangement in this area, for a clan is a Scottish family unit. Some of the Alma clans have developed unique reputations. The Stewart Rebels have been noted as intramural champions, while McPher- son clan has developed a reputation for scholarship and participa- tion in campus politics. Each clan has the opportunity to develop its own program, depending upon the interests of its residents. Spe- cial awards are presented to the clan with the highest scholarship average and to the clan which presents the best appearance at the annual open house. There is a wealth of tradition behind this Scottish theme and figuring as a very important part in it all is, of course, the Pres- byterian Church itself since the sturdy Scots were the mainstay in the history and development of the Church. Gone are the days of Presbyterian, Presbyterians, Rah! but in reality the Presbyterians are still here - proud of their history and traditions and upholding them through the rich Scottish traditions.
