Here the individual is met with the opportunity to mix together with fellow students and meet the challenges that he has set for himself as well as those that await him in his life. A sense of unity spreads as the immediate challenges are resol- ved. A sense of oneness is felt as each day brings the student more in touch with those around him. The students enjoy the privilege of becoming a part of the energy needed to grow and to help others grow. As new friendships continue to expand, the students become increas- ingly aware of the needs of others and continue to reach out. Eventually, the student ' s views and convictions are the cul- mination of all that has been shared. Interpreting and under- standing the mass of experiences and information that pass before him, the student is unique. He is a part of the group, and the group is not complete without knowing what he has to offer. The knowledge that everything beautiful and joyful is tem- porary does not go unrecognized, yet the student does not allow this knowledge to interfere with his need to learn and to grow. It is the people that make up Anderson College. But it is the individual contribution that shapes the overall student body. It is the self-expression of the individuals that creates the meaningful bonds felt among the students. Given only a brief moment to shine, the individual shines forever, all the while discovering the world and his relationship to it.
