7 l Q6L6!Ql'lf 5 Qffddge . 'f MX-X X NO BLIND SPOTS The name of Calvin's student yearbook-PRlSM-has had a long and happy history. Only the initial venture in 1920 bore another name.

This is possible only in the context in which Christ himself uttered the following beautiful parable: lf the Whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light . . . . The light of reason which God implanted in men, encrusted in disbelief owing to sin, rekindled by the regenerative power of the Holy Spirit applying the redemptive work of Christ, is the light which should illumine the whole body.
