The word Academic may at first suggest learning only by means of books, a sort ot monastic, medieval existence. With greater consideration, however, Academic comes to mean more. It means not only learning ideas but also the association of these ideas to living. lt becomes the ideal that' lite and learning must be found together for a successful education and that the well- rounded person is the highest goal of a liberal arts education. This ideal or meaning of Academics is the core, the substance upon which Carleton College is built. It isithe work of the Ad- ministration and Faculty which makes this core stranger. With their experiences and wisdom, the Administration and Faculty guide our education.

ll The Pursuit of Excellence and the Development Pro- gram are key words or phrases at Carleton. The person behind these programs, making them a reality, is Col- lege President, Laurence M. Gould. There is no doubt that his enthusiasm, optimism and belief in American edu- cation and especially in the liberal arts ideal is what brings to Carleton the opportunity for the breeding and discovering of ideas and the furthering of the free way of life. Dr. Gould is known in many national, scientific and political circles of the world. He is probably most noted for his work and leadership in the 1957 Geophysical Year program in Anarctica, though,he has been con- ferred with many honorary degrees for other fields of endeavor, mainly education. Above these honors and acclaims, however, President Gould is most noted by the students of Carleton Co-llege. Students of past and present classes respect and honor Larry Gould for here is a man who is mainly concerned with them and their developmen-t. His goals are the build- ing and maintenance of the ideals which students strive to achieve. Dr. Gould is never too busy to see students when they come to his office or to visit with parents and friends. He has even been seen in such places as the Hill House parlor for tea and the Evans back-wait room for supper. Mainly interested and concerned with students and Carleton College President Gould has earned the respect of all people connected to the Carleton com- munity. President I T .gg M? .
