So very seldom in life is there afforded an opportu- nity to experience true greatness. That privilege has for thirteen years been the possession of Emory and Henry’s students. Recognition for greatness comes not necessarily from prestige positions. Genius prop- erly turned for the benefit of mankind evolves into greatness. The life and the gift of this man to whom this volume is dedicated has been so wrought up in the cause of the liberal arts education and the de- velopment of cultural values that its merits to be classed as great. For the hours of unselfish devotion spent over musical scores ond in rehearsal: For the cultivation of the right to utilize the mind and to stretch its thought processes to the capacity of the individual: For the development of a respect and apprecia- tion for religion and its influence on the world and culture, and for the awareness of the need for fine art among people in areas lacking cosmopolitan in- fluence: For instilling in the minds of students the need for strong-willed and compassionate individuals. For gifts of the mind and heart, and for material investments in students: For respecting the opinions of others, yet not al- ways agreeing; And especially for taking our time with long talks which have served to make the spirit of Emory and Henry and its purpose remain vivid in our minds. To you. Ludwik Sikorski. this SPHINX of 1963 is dedicated . 15
