Dedication On every college campus there are educators who will he remem- hered long after the knowledge which they have imparted becomes merely a link in the long chain of life ' s education. Mr. Wilbur E. Weaver, to ivhom we dedicate this yearbook, exemplifies this type of individual. In his many years of outstanding service to Elizabethtown College, Wilbur E. Weaver has earned both the re- spect and admiration of students and colleagues as an educator, an administrator, and an individual. It is not only strength of character, or breadth of interests, or natural leadership which make this man outstanding. It is also certain that he must have a passion for excellence and that he must feel a dedication to the values the college has cherished through the years. His tireless efforts and unceasing willingness to help others have enabled him to reach heights of greatness. Thus, it is only fitting that the 1963 CONESTOGAN be proudly dedicated to Mr. Wilbur E. Weaver — administrator, educator, leader, and friend. Performing his daily task, Mr. Wilbur Weaver distributes mail to the college students.

Progress . . New occasions teach new duties. Time makes ancient good uncouth; Then must upward still and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. — Lowell A gem with its many facets can be compared with the many phases of a college education. Just as the gem is the result of the integra- tion of many facets, so also the ideal student is the result of inte- gration of various facets of campus living — academic, social, and aesthetic. Through the efforts of students, faculty, and administra- tion these three phases of college life are integrated in such a man- ner as to guide and to stimulate mental and spiritual curiosity. Faculty and administration give direction by stirring a purpose within the hearts of their students. Sometimes it may be worthwhile to ask the question of what and who is a guide. He may appear to be the ultimate authoritv, but in the final analysis he is the welcomer of student ideas and contributions. The heart of a true guide possesses the desire to in- spire as well as to instruct, and if he is indeed wise, he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. » Students who follow the guiding hand of these leaders combine the academic, social, and aesthetic phases of college life enabling them to move onward and upward fulfilling the duties of new occasions.
