jfttVtWQVb The elusive quality that permeates the atmosphere of our Campus can only be successfully defined as a way or life. The Presbyterian founders of Davidson College, men of strong conviction and settled purpose, proposed in their Charter of 1838 ... to promote the more general diffusion of knowledge and virtue. Each of us, student and faculty, in our stay at Davidson has contributed to this way of life that here found its genesis. It will be our heritage in that greater lite beyond the walls of our Alma Mater to germinate the seed that has been sown in our individual and corporate lives. In the stages of our development we have known both elation and anxiety in many aspects of endeavor. By the spirit of our participa- tion we have contributed to the Synthesis and have patterned a philosophy unique to Davidson College and her sons. The purpose of the 1956 Quips and Cranks is to portray a single chapter in the great epic of Davidson lite, a chapter written by the unfolding events of the school year. Thus, in our daily life we have individually contributed word, sentence, paragraph, and page to this narrative, the quality of which we have ourselves determined. Page Eighteen

I i i new Davidson generation has known Freshman Orientation as a period that linked previous experience with the unknown in student lite. During these brieF, bus days a new environment unfolded and the en- visioned became a reality. Bulging bags were unpacked, lees were paid, roommates replaced parents, and new friendships were formed. With painstaking dexterity the new student chose his Freshman hat, a symbol that soon lost its novelty and came to be worn with scar- let letter disdain. Insecurity and loneliness were relieved at the initial meeting of orien- tation groups, and the new constituent began to find his place in the College community. Page Twenty
