Seateii: Aberiicthy, MactOiiuat, .Muloney, Rhodes, Sehenck; standing: Clark, Polley. BIBLE AND PHILOSOPHY The mood of philosophy is curi- osity; that of religion is reverence. The method of philosophy is dia- lectic; that of religion is worship. The instrument of philosophy is reason; that of religion is faith. The intent of philosophy is ohjectivity and explanation; that of religion is commitment and salvation. Such generalizations, though in- adequate, illustrate the radical dif- ference between philosophy and re- ligion. Within the human person- ality and in the classroom, however, absolute lines of demai ' cation be- come artificial. Curiosity is min- gled with wonder and awe; reason and faith appear as complemen- tary; religious matters require intellectual expression; and under- standing may be fulfilled in com- mitment. What do we hope for our stu- dents? That they shall grow into a knowledge and appreciation of their intellectual and spirit heri- tage; that they shall learn to ask fruitful questions, form valid and ethical judgments, think — and think straight; that they shall progress from faith to faith in the context of reverence and doubt, become aware of life ' s meaning, and dedicate themselves to the truth that sets men free. D. D. Rhodes FINE ARTS AND MUSIC Sneeden, Richey. Russeli. Williams. Lord, I ' lott, Houchens. Believing that the arts should do more than entertain, the Music and Fine .- rts Departments of Davidson College strive to provide for as many students as possible a true understanding of and sensi- tivity to the language and spirit of the arts. For the talented student, these departments attempt to develop his creative potential as fully as pos- sible within the confines of a lib- eral arts program. For the student whose interest in the arts accom- panies another field of major con- centration, these departments are concerned with improving his abil- ity to be more perceptive of qual- ity and to develop his discerning taste. These departments provide con- certs, theatre productions, and art exhibits, not only as performing- outlets for the students, but as major contributions to the cultural life of the entire college commun- ity.
