I mm Gateway Rocks . . . Gateway to what? Learning, of course . . . the catalogue told you that. — The Liberal Arts Education? . . . naturally, but the old cliche needs a new definition, and it probably won ' t be a simple one, for th e success of a college depends on its ability to broaden, not to narrow. At CC nothing remains static — a m morning snow storm can produce a sun deck afternoon, grass sprouts from a seemingly hopeless ir- rigation project, the pseudo-Tudor of Bemis is juxtaposed with the Telstar-modern of Tutt library. Above all, a half hour of table hopping under the mural in the Hub can convince you that the elements in the stu- dent body are as different as the ferocious purple tiger and the timid orange one — a hand of bridge, whispered advice about the next formal, an evaluation of Camus versus Colin Wilson, an argument on who hit who first at last night ' s hockey game, or a simmering discussion of the merits of the ROTC program. The participants are equally varied — some wear letters, others beards — the faculty appears in berets or Russian astrakhans. It isn ' t dull, or simply mixed up, but an integrated student body producing a cosmopolitan atmosphere of diversity and varied interests rarely found in a college this size. The spokes of campus activity fan in many directions, and the wheel is constantly spinning — to the cosmopolitan spirit which enables the whole to be more than the sum of its parts, we dedicate this book.
