The administration makes sure that the students and faculty are working together as a team. They keep the college running smoothly. Administrators are a vital part of the atmosphere of Queens. They too socialize with the students, giving them yet another view of the outside world as coordinators. There arae many views that can be taken from within Queens College itself, and nowhere in the world can the same view be found.

STUDENT LIFE A VIEW FROM WITHIN Enter the Queens College campus and you are at once taken with its charm, timelessness, and transcendence. It is a garden where the young and the old plant, cultivate and grow. Here, the excitement of discovery' empowers, renews, and energizes the boundless world of ideas. Indeed, everything begins with an idea. Where else could it begin? Here, mystery, awe and wonder conspire to nurture the joy of learning. We want to know. Human curiosity is insatiable. To seek and find meaning for our knowledge is the beginning of an enlightened journey. At Queens, intellectual and moral seedlings are being planted, which some day will be giant oaks, standing tall, strong, with deep roots, exuding strength and confidence for generations to come. Here, we find professors interacting with students, transforming human hopes into human fulfillment; human potential into human actuality. The result is confident, caring, competent, morally sensitive human beings whose intellect is animated by ethical values. It is at the Chapel where the soul encounters its destiny; where we find the meaning of it all — the seamless connection between the life of the mind and the life of the spirit. Plumb the depths of the human spirit and we discover the Transcendent, that impenetrable, inescapable Mystery, which energizes our search. We are in a constant state of becoming. We never quite are. This is our time in history, our time on earth; and we should spend that time building a just, enlightened and humane society. Queens, then, is an Eternal Poem, an Eternal Quest: a place for noble dreams, enlightenment, reflection, friendship, fellowship, and fun. It is yours. It is mine. It is ours. It belongs to both the ages and the future. Rejoice and embrace it! Billy O. Wireman President
