The journey to campus begins, and as you ascend the hill you see the valley and city of Corning. Gradually these fade into the distance and the new horizon is filled with sky, hills, and expectations. Approaching the campus, you are touched by a feeling of apprehension. Questions begin to take form and you look about saying to yourself, “This is a new beginning, and 1 must face it alone.” As each new class convenes, anxiety grows stronger and the fear of failure grips you. “Will I be able to meet the challenges ahead of me?” You meet fellow students, and begin to feel at ease. The buildings, grounds, and hills soon become familiar. Suddenly an acquaintance becomes a friend. You cease to feel like an outsider, for you have someone to share this new experience with. A light glimmers and your main interest becomes ac- ademic. As you seek knowledge which others have dis- covered before you, your mind grows keen and the drive for knowledge takes over. You become more attentive in class; there is no longer an object that stands at the front of the room, but a vital and interesting person who wishes to share his years of study. Here you find your most valu- able friend on campus. Doubt arises and questioning becomes more a part of you than acceptance. You begin to divorce yourself from all that was past, and strive to find new thoughts, rea- sons, and ideals. The feeling that you are walking alone builds up and again you look around for companionship. Yet with the fulfillment and satisfaction of learning, your reason asks for a justification of being; it looks too for com- munication. Friendship again appears—but of a different type. Now you discuss, reject, and learn from others. This journey comes to an end in two years. But you have begun an even longer journey which must continue when you leave Corning. You came alone, sought companionship, found it, and then discovered even more. Now you belong to a com- munity, a community composed of great people and great thoughts. Wanting to belong, you sought worthiness in some small degree.
