Foreword As Polaris, the guiding star of earth, illuminates the planet with visible light, East Carolina College radiates educational light. An observer sees not only the source of the light but also the area illumined. The Polaris shines in four distinct directions: academic, cultural, social, and physical. Not the least brilliant of the four beams is the academic. Prerequisite to commencement, the academic disciplines are often thought to end with graduation. Knowledge gained here, however, will go with each student into his fu- ture life; and a shaft of light from East Carolina is sent out as each student takes his place in the world. The radiance of culture does not begin and end with the campus but reflects in the community and on the whole of eastern North Carolina. Social light shines on the surrounding area through the students ' fund-raising drives, welfare parties, and entertainment features. The physical ray does not beam for the sake of the college alone. It reflects in athletic com- petition and in the interest in the physical well-being of all whom the college serves. Always endeavoring to make man ' s life more meaningful and more com- fortable, the college radiates its influence over an expanding area and adapts its program to meet the vast and varied needs of the world.
