Everchanging Panorama This, then, is what this yearbook strives for — to be the product of the illumination of mind, to be a guide to the social activities, and, most of all, to be the tangible reflection of a realization. It, as an example of the college and of its namesake, serves to furnish the students with the diversity of the events of the year as a compact digest. Recalled at a glance ore the all-important football games, the home- coming dance, the exams that seemed never to end, and the girl down the hall or the fellow in Burton. Page by page it contains the components of the school in picture and word, in both past, present, and future. But the true significance of the Algol lies in that it is more than a record of the college; it is the college. The Algol of Corleton mirrors the Algol of the sky — it is an ever-changing, ever distinctive star.

Algol Mirrors The And behind all this is one other factor. Behind the undisputed scholastic standing, behind the numerous student activities, ever behind the school spirit, there stands another part of Carleton, the true magnitude. This comp onent is almost indefinable, for it can ' t be measured; it is inexplicable, because it isn ' t manufactured. It is the aims of the college accomplished and reaccomplished; the idea that each stu- dent takes with him when he leaves. It is — a realization of humanity. Ports of this realization are recorded in the Bible and the Koran, in the newspapers or shopping lists, even in the college yearbook. The records stand as journals of memories to breathe guidance and inspiration of the past into the knowledge of the future.
