.i L az! as fjgfx 57 . Fm K 91.5,-f -V .ss , K, ' ' Vi,.gi.X cor. LL F, as a freshman, you approached Cornell for the first time at night, the first image impressed on your mind was probably the Library Towerea shining symbol of the books and learning ahead of you. If you approached the campus during the day, perhaps it was the bustle and socializing of Willard Straight Hall which attracted you initially. But no matter what your first impression was, you soon found out that both of these aspects of Cornell -and many others, including the religious and cultural-were irrevocably intertwined. You found how difficult it was for a student to go through four years at such an energetic, creative university with- out consciously or unconsciously mingling in its diverse activity. Perhaps somewhere along the line you struck out on your own, choosing to make a contented life- long scholar of yourself. This is easily enough done at Cornell, not only through its teeming library, but through its varied, outstanding faculty, its endless offering of exhibits, discussions, lectures, concerts, and dramatic productions. But scholasticism may have seemed slightly abhorrent to others, and so these perhaps took a new route, gathering on their Way invaluable social contacts with foreign students, or merely with other students who liked people for their own sake. Thus it is that places like the Library and Willard Straight gain their significance. Not only do they symbolize the enormous diversity of Cor- nell, but they are part of the diversity itself. They act as guide posts for the newly initiated of Cornell, and unhesitatingly give of their time and effort to those who are curious and eager. lt is certain that while teachers, courses, attitudes, and moods will change at Cornell, and while the Straight and Library will undoubtedly also change in form, their spirit will remain as long as Cornell possesses students. For Cornell is for people first of all, these build a college.
