At First, Goals Are Provided... The reflection upon Culver as a microcosm provides most students with the tools to master it —a sense of direction. Because others have always provided the goals, the student’s purpose has been artificial. Behold the wicked little barb Which catches fish in human garb And yanks them back when they feel gay With will it last or does it pay? —Persis Greely Anderson 14

As his existence at Culver progresses, the student gradually begins to discern the nature of Culv er— a world with its own government, business ventures, and high-society clique. Yet, Culver provides an artificial shield from the dangers of life. Going into an exam could be disastrous, but the student finds security in Culver’s daily study and help” period. A mass of college questionnaires and meet¬ ings lead the student to the college which is just right for him, and a cautiously distributed weekly allowance allows ample funds for even the most lavish meal at the best restaurant on campus. But, five times a year at 11:42 a.m. the students rejoin civilization to cram months of “real life” into a few days. A further reflection upon Culver finds that the school itself has under¬ gone a change of direction. Under a new superin¬ tendent, Brig. Gen. John W. Dobson, the school has again evaluated its goals. The difference has not been an alteration but a reconsideration of emphasis.

The luxury visualized in the regimental com¬ mander’s stripes or the funereal thoughts at performing extra duty for failure to get a haircut have hinted to cadets what or what not to do. Some students develop a preference of the suggested goals through their personal interests, but the individual has not developed a path entirely his own. From his now mature outlook upon Culver life, the student has the opportunity to develop a personal goal which may materialize as an individual path amid a maze of activities. No two students find the same sense of direction. Some seek a wide variety of interests, others seek perfection in one or two, and some don’t find a purpose at all. The most successful seem to be those in delicate balance between deep involvement in a few interests or a smattering of contributions to many activities. 15
