I'm a Brown Man born, I'm a Brown Man bred begins a pep song. We hear it during Freshman Week, at football games, in showers. But it goes on: For it's Rah, Rah, Brunonia, Brown, Brown, Brown. Rah-Rah' ? It seems out of place because we are not 'Rah- Rah. At least, if all that Rah-rah' means is intercollegiate athletic rivalry, Brown decals, seasonal beauty queens, and undergraduate pranks, we are not. We have thesebut more importantly, the sentiment and the excitement of Brown's Rah-Rah exist on a more considered level. Brown men cheer, and make themselves noticed cheering, but they alsothough often less ostentatiouslysupport their teams in large numbers, tour the Rock with their dates, point out University Hall's National Landmark Plaque, and explain that Barus and Holley were noted Brown scientists. There is a pride in Brownpeople, ideals, history. In freshmen, this pride is characteristically seen as enthusiastic acceptance of the place. The dorms are great, your professor is a genius and his course a fantastic experience, and the proctor down the hall is one of the greatest guys you have ever met. By sophomore year enthusiastic rejection has set in. The dorms are abominable, your professor is a dogmatic, conservative dolt and his course a total disappointment, and your roommate is a boor. Junior year usually brings the great awakening. You see Brown for what it really is and what it can be. It is not all work and study, it is not all fun and games. It is not all great, and it is not all a mess. Brown becomes a personalized challenge to make of it what you will. And that is the key: Brown does not offer itself up on a silver platter, but provides the potential for development and discovery of knowledge, of social facility, and of self. Brown exists to be cultivated by the student who is willing to spend the time to do it. It is a possibility waiting for the student to make it a reality. The dreams and fantasies that a freshman brings through the Van Wickle Gates are appropriate and necessary at the time, but the real feeling of fulfillment that the senior takes out through those same gates is more important to the Brown Experience. It is a fulfillment achieved through the mechanics of education, but enriched by individual involvement.
