Culver Military Academy - Roll Call Yearbook (Culver, IN)

Page 19 text:

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
