FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL I suppose that the ultimate of continuation education is life itself. If we were never before aware of life as a process, we certainly are now. But in the normal building of careers, rearing of families and development of interests, we can lose sight of the goals and meanings of life. In other words, the educational value of life is often smothered in the dust of its pursuit. Our time here, then, has meant more than training for professional careers in our respective areas. It was also a pause and a reassessment, a time for reflection, for consideration of new concepts and values, and for evaluation of our own ideas, aims and needs. Whether or not we have recognized it, this was also a period of experimen- tation and innovation. We have been part of an educational attempt to bring together representatives from exceedingly diverse disciplines and to stimulate them in areas that, while related, seem apparently remote. We can hardly con- ceive the difficulties involved, and I suppose the resulting controversy will rage through generations of students at the school. I suspect, however, that this cross-germination will bear its fruit in the nourishment of the coming years of activity. Most of us will carry away a welter of contending and perhaps conflicting feelings. Among them, I know, will he regrets that time - that insistent dimen- sion - did not permit us fuller exploration of mutual friendship or a comparable closeness with our truly devoted faculty - not to mention that heroic cohort, the gracious administrative staff. Here then is the reservoir of our memories. It is a product of some of the talent in our class and, I daresay, a token of remembrance. Arthur Mazer President, Student Council Class of 1962
