ARETfc Times have changed, and so has Queens College. For the past two years, the yearbook staff has felt the need for a name change. For several years, the Queens yearbook was called The Coronet. A former editor looked up the word coronet and discovered it meant the crown of a subordinate ' While investigating the matter, we wondered to whom we were subordinate. We may have to fight for equality off-campus, but we are equal to each other at Queens. Several new names were considered for the annual, but we felt that one best conveyed the spirit of the school: Aret6. Aret£, as anyone who takes a course in Greek culture will learn, is the Greek ideal of excellence. Queens constantly strives for excellence in different ways. Our liberal arts curriculum stresses learning in different disciplines to make us well- rounded people. Students strive for excellence in class, at play, and on commit- tees. Professors help us reach our goals by challenging us to stretch our minds. The administration works diligently at making this an excellent school by adding new programs and strengthening old ones, making the academic environment comfortable, yet challenging. Plato felt that we as individuals can never achieve absolute excellence. That may be true of us as separate individuals, but together we combine our efforts to make things stand out. With the people we have at Queens College we can achieve excellence. Striving for Excellence TOP: Everyone makes new friends when they go to college.
