He seeks a recluse from his sluggish manner, And unassumingly stumbles lnto the blinding brilliancy Of an environment in quest of knowledge. The individual contracts an obligation Which sets the reinforcements of his character, And bands together his unalterable optimism ln anticipation of unknown, horrendous odds. Mustering his near-spent strength, I-le reacts to the self-called summons, And begins to scale the peakless grade Of hidden enlightenment. He falls in the agony of his first denied hopes, But in the fall he grows a bit stronger. ACADeMics 31

A ter-Hour Seininem' Stiinnlezte Religious ebezte EYES' iw Reel in hand, Brother Iliorris hnstens to ready the projector for ti presentation of another junior class religion movie. Prod Senior I nitiettive A subject peculiar to its name, religion at Brother Rice has flourished from stereo-typed, text book courses to a department throbbing with the pulse of the contemporary. The thorough alteration, sponsored by Br. Morris, com- pletely revamped the aging curriculum and initiated subjects pertinent and interesting to the students themselves. Courses range from studies of married life to the analysis of the screen arts, and release the student from the monotony of a formal classroom environment. The newest innovation this year is the introduction of evening seminars for seniors, which include in depth research of current social problems, contemporary writings and relig- ious philosophies. The casual atmosphere of these meetings provokes individual introspection and leaves the student to Search for his own opinions. The change in the department is accomplished, but it can never be finalized. As new philosophies and fresh con- troversies, the offspring of all contemporary thought, become continually more apparent, the innovations in topic and delivery must remain steady. if HN' 'FQ During one of the evening sessions of Senior religion, jeff Browning, Kevin Curhary and Torn Clark use their seminar to debate contemporary questions with their moderator, Brother Morris. 33
