FGRE ORD it is the intent of the l963 'THOMIST to pictori- ally present the idea that the primary purpose of a college education is to initiate the development of an educated person. This concept taxes the powers of photojournal- ismy indeed, one wonders if the judgment that this goal has been achieved is not largely subjective. The difficulty lies in the concept of just what constitutes an educated person. lt is our feeling that the term, education, has a larger meaning than that popularly understood: an educa- tion is not simply a discrete period of specialized training. Rather, an education is the process of becoming aware of the true extent of reality, and the educated man is one who, possessing this lznowledge, strives to correlate technical training, personal experiences, and mental concepts, even- tually coming to a more universal understanding of reality. We particularly hope that the narrative style of the last section of this book will faithfully present this developing awareness as we have seen ity this is, at least, our aim. .2-vi!! N' -:- E 2:2
