FOREWORD Next year, 1967, will mark the beginning of the Final third of the twentieth century. The only certainty about it is the fact that it will lx unlike any previous .«« • This year, the second third of the twentieth century is drawing to a close. The world has experienced more far-reaching change in this short span, scarcely more than a generation, than it has in the previous three hundred years. Our generation, the “age of change”, is significant in more than the mere fact of change. Its importance lies in the rate of change which has experienced an undreamed-of acceleration. Beneath the obvious historic milestones, the Depression, the Second World War, the increase of affluence, lie much profounder changes. One out of every 25 persons who ever lived is now alive, as are 90% of all scientists. The population has drastically urbanized, so that our farmers, now only 10% of our |X)pula-tion, only one in ten of whom had electricity thirty years ago, now supply all of our agricultural needs. This great physical change has been matched with a growth in knowledge. Four times as much is known now as in 1935, and in the next fifteen years, scientists will learn as much more as in all previous history. This awesome march of events is being mirrored in Breck School. The change from the St. Paul to the Minneapolis campus, while a great event in itself, was merely a hint of things to come. With the establishment of the Long Range Planning Committee, many one-time dreams became sudden realities. The decision to become co-educational, the construction of the Chapel of the Holy Spirit and the new lower school wing, all these have taken place so swiftly that a graduate of ten years ago recognizes very little of what he knew as Breck. Indeed, we, the class of 1966, will feel much the same upon a visit ten years from now. There is unprecedented challenge ahead. Just as the world’s changes of the past three decades have sometimes been for bad as well as good, so must Breck temper its progress with wisdom. Alfred North Whitehead, a prominent twentieth century philosopher, said, The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order.” May the beautiful new chajx l with its thrusting, massive beams be a symbol of Breck’s change, its graceful spire jx)inting the way to a better Breck community.
