agaamiam . - - z% tt 9 Since the first expression of art, man has explained beauty in many ways. According to the classical mind, beauty con- tains a diversity of elements harmoniously yoked to effect an abiding unity. The beauty of Boston College, as described in this 1961 Sub Turri, hopes to personify this definition. The majesty that is Boston College ' s, arrayed in the variety of colleges, architecture, students, faculties, programs, courses, activi- ties, and facilities, is crowned with the unity which is its goal, a Catholic Education.

rrrr w rmrmm J-J-Lfl ,,;. COLLEGE OF Otitis and c cienceS A pulsating campus, vibrant laboratories, fluo- rescent classrooms, and even a president ' s po- tential cabinet, smashed the unity of the ordered rows in our class roll-call. At one moment we were a steel chain . . . then came that ornate scroll . . . and we were but a few hundred links, searching for new chains to form, or to produce. The whole thing started with those bright yel- low slips. Epistemology? Logic? Who were they? Scripture, English and copious research. Orien- tation week offered us new directions. If you de- sired assurance in bearings, you went to the Guidance Office. If you sought to broaden im- mediate interests you read the New York Times and spoke with nameless companions. If there was still uncertainty, a moment spent in the solitude of prayer was helpful. In September 1958 . . . Question: Where did all the cafeteria table-hoppers go? . . . must have transferred to the ' Cross ' . Oh yes, and still more Philosophy and endless facts about how Rom- ulus and Remus were ' thrown to the wolves ' and thus founded Rome. That was also the time that everyone was carrying so many books with Har- vard Bookstore covers — they were half price there. But not all of us were welcomed to the Gasson Honors room, the one with the two- inch rug and the comfortable chairs.
