One needs such diversions lest he become deficient in such a vital part of his personality-the art of relaxation and occasional detachment from the responsibilities of academic studies. The Chairman of this Committee is appointed by the Student Senate. The Committee consists of two representatives elected from each of the four classes. Two of the ma- ior achievements of the Social Committee this year were the Student Association Ban- quet and the fourth annual Valentine Coronation. 95

A tully mature college student must develop interests in other areas of lite than sports or academics. The Cultural Committee seeks to promote and develop an aware- ness of and interest in the contemporary world ot the student. The Committee's Chair- man is appointed by the Student Senate and its members are elected from each class. The QUISLEN, a daily news bulletin which is placed on all the dining hall tables at the evening meal, was instituted by this Committee. Last tall, an art show was held by this very active Committee. During the annual Crum Lectureship, the refreshments which provided a backdrop tor an informal period ot discussion with the speaker, were the work of the Cultural Committee. In addition to sponsoring the Annual College Bowl, the Committee has instituted the first Inter-collegiate College Bowl here at Barr- ington which was held last winter. 96
