Upbolding Wisdom's Hallowed Name e It is the faculty that sets the true pace for the advance of a college, and gives a college its meaning and purpose. Therefore the flame of the second candle comes from Connecticut's faculty. Although our mortives were many in pursuing a college education, the basic ones were the desire for greater knowledge and the wish to become more mature and intelligent adultes. To those professors who have patiently helped us and have generously given of their own knowl- cdge, we must ever be grateful. But there is more than gratitude in our relationship; there is the strong and lasting bond of amity. e During our Freshman week, when we were bewildered and unsure of ourselves, our Faculty Advisors came to our res- cue, helping us to select courses best suited to our needs. Then the time ap- proached for us to choose our Major fields. Again the professors, by giving us some insight into the scope and mean- ing of different fields, advised us well. In the many classes we have attended they have helped us to use our minds, and have instructed us without dogmat- ic indoctrination. And both in and out of the classroom we have had the privilege of knowing them as per- sonalities. Dean Nye, Dean of Faculty
