1 1 WE, THE STAFF. 1963 FOREWORD We are attempting to do something differ- ent that will require the reader to use his imagination. Our goal is not only to produce a record of what happened at Belmont Abbey College during the school year 1962-63, but also to give the reader ideas about the roots of our Abbey school. On every page he will see the modern equivalent of what was pre- sent, to a large extent, in the Medieval mo- nastic school. The monastery has retained many of the old traditions that were laid down by St. Benedict after the fall of Rome. Most of our games, speech, and habits have their rootsdeep in the Dark Ages. One need not stretch his imagination to see bowling on the village green, students engaged in campus politics, and the perennial ink stained hands. The courses of study that Abbeymen pur- sue have developed through the ages. The metaphysics of St. Thomas now walks hand in hand with the nuclear physics of Einstein, while the humanities fashion a scholar ' s relationship with his fellow man and with God. With pride we p r e s e n t , the SPtRE OF 1963. Fr. Kenneth Tim Ford Virginia Winget Bill MuUer Brian Ternamian Jack Tilghman
