The true scholar can make his own college wherever he finds a book. Few are scholars, and in answer to Philip the teacher’s “Do you under- stand what you are reading?” they ex- claim, ‘How can |, unless | have some- one to guide me?” The faculty members have already studied in Jerusalem. They have trav- eled the road out into the desert to gain perspective on their studies. The wisdom they have gained in half a lifetime can be tapped by the student in a semester. This sharing of experi- ence is the true education which each student seeks. FACULTY: “Where can | find information on George Eliot?” Opposite page: Registration-day confusion.

DEDICATION We first met you in the classroom where you helped us reconstruct sentences and unmix meta- phors. We gradually became aware of the warm personality behind your scholarly reserve. Later we met you in literature classes. Together we smiled at Shakespeare’s puns and reacted to Swift's satire. Together we marvelled at the depth of Herbert’s poems and analyzed Spenser's allegory. Some of us met you on staffs of student publications where you gently suggested changes, kept our enthusiasm at a respectable level, and helped to stabilize emotions during deadline rushes. We respected you for your comfortable dignity, your self-discipline, your knowledge, your ability to relate literature and Christianity, your Christian wisdom, and your calmness in every situation. We liked you for liking us, for being kindness personified, for laughing at our humor, for expecting the best from us. To you, Mr. Pellman, scholar, teacher, and friend, we dedicate the 1960 Shenandoah.
