FOREWORD The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. Robert Frost In the quest for knowledge, we regard the possession of answers as only a temporary convenience; a useful tool with which to ask more enlightened ques- tions. Answers must therefore be the very stuff of perplexity, frustration and doubt, and never the arbitrary occasion for concluding our thinking. For this reason the metaphor of the ivory tower is inappropriate, suggesting as it does the cool, tranquil isolation from human affairs and human emotion and the annihilation of confusion by thought. A more accurate description might be an intricate maze whose thin walls are lined with colorful, inviting books, whose corridors echo seductive answers and promises of eventual understanding. The seductive offer of answers as ends-in-themselves, and therefore as the ends of our quest for knowledge, has a certain kinship with the single moment of lucid insight into the meaning of existence: this lonely, mystical flash does not suddenly turn us into gods, nor does the shock of its dimension hurl us out of our human existence. If the moment of lucidity can serve us at all — if we can take it back with us into our daily, human affairs and duties — it is in the form of the highest kind of discomfort and provocation, and never as a substitute for the lives we must continue to lead. Whether or not the moment — or the answer — can illuminate our lives, and not just make us uncomfortable in them: this in itself is the start of a new question. On the following pages a number of juniors and seniors present their answers to this question. Using their major fields of study as a point of reference, the students have voiced their individual reactions to, and departures from, the formal college experience. Our purpose in printing these individual expressions is to show how the classroom, the library — the intricate maze itself — can serve as a stimulus to further thinking, enabling us to continue our quest for knowledge beyond the walls of college.
