Davidson College - Quips and Cranks Yearbook (Davidson, NC)

I Despite her future course, the campus heritage will remain. Davidson College is perhaps all things to all men, and anything one who has been part of her heritage says is necessarily incomplete. It has been said that Davidson is a way of life, based on things of the mind, tempered by manners and mo- rality. There are many statements such as these in the college catalogue, most of which appraise the values of the small, liberal arts school. And yet the more one considers, the more he realizes the inherent truth in these so- called pious platitudes. Gradually the tentative friendships made at Davidson are metamorphosed into something deeper — a realization that at college one acquires the knowl- edge a diploma requires, but more about people, things, and life. Many years from now the scenery will have changed, and we will look back on those long awaited Saturdays when, depending on the situation, those so inclined cleared away for a dozen states to get away from it all. Never- theless, that elusive, all-pervading quality of the Davidson spirit will always be a part of us, not merely a memory far off on the horizon of time. In summary, the informality of each day is offset by a spiritual high-minded- ness and a valued culture which are yours to gain and which belong as rightfully to you as they do to the in- stitution. These are much too intangible to be set forth in pictures, but keep them in mind, and as you peruse the rest of these pages, may you be reminded of your best days at Davidson. 14
