u t I Qui l-HS, once more, is Earlham's TirsT war yearbook , Seniors in I943, we made iT Tor ourselves and Tor The school. The book is noT a social calendar any longer, buT an aTTempT To discuss by word and picTure This year now becoming a memory. During These lasT Twelve monThs, Earlham has known a reason- able share oT normal campus liTe. AmidsT pressure, Tarewells and Tun, we wiTnessed our own, slow TransTormaTion: noT iusT The re- acTion To ouTside Torces beyond our conTrol, buT The growTh oT a new consciousness, The coming-of-Torce oT an ideal, The ulTimaTe crysTallizaTion oT Earlham's philosophy and underlying spiriT. We aT Earlham This year have been Touched by someThing greaTer Than ourselves: as a group, we have sTood up Tor an idea: because conscience counTed more Than maTerial, we have endan- gered our liTe as a insTiTuTion and reTused To Train men in uniTorm. Curs was The unproTiTable righT To diTTer, To serve wiThouT Tollow- ing The crowd in order To aTTirm ThaT our principles were deep and sTormprooT. Men who hang on crosses do noT have To say much .... We may be on The righT way. We are noT marTyrs yeT. Nor were we unanimous in our sTand. Many could noT reconcile Themselves To The decision. BUT Earlham has become such ThaT There were Tew indeed who TelT +ha+ iT was noT The decision oT The True Earlham. Few who doubTed or Tailed To admire The sinceriTy oT The men and women who seTTled The issue. ThaT, in essence, is The spiriT of Earlham. i dC.f871d til rh e d ea rh your right to say iff' -X 'oltizire
