Emersonians have come to know it as the Evolution of Expression, the analysis and syntheses of literary and dramatic art. The college has grown and the conception has broadened — the plan has become two-fold. There are now two avenues of endeavor, but the goal is the same. We come here primarily because we are interested in literature, radio, or the theatre. We study literature, psychology, philosophy, history, and the languages. We have a general liberal arts back- ground. We study radio, the theatre, costuming, make-up, stage-design, pan- tomime, and dance. We are equipped with a specialized training which we understand more fully because we know its growth and place in culture. The Emersonian Thirteen

We have not been a number in a record book, a face in the classroom, a name on the roll, but individual people whom they have treated as friends. Fourteen The Emersonian
