Teach me indijference to praise or blame, So long as with goodconscience I can say I sought to fnd the straight and narrow way. Ifsuddenly thehres ofpassion flame About me, let me calm them with that Name Which in my heart I never could betray And when the lightfails, and untroubled sleep Has clothed my senses with its sweet reward, O give my spirit then a large increase Ofstrength for one more day ofstrivingg keep The gateway ofmy dreamsg and wake me, Lord To walk again the manly paths of-peace. ffSi1vera

Learning is a fragile and imperceptible experience, yet it stands as the foundation of the entire college structure. The responsibility of generating this experience belongs chiefly to the administration and faculty. The administration develops the attitudes which must exist if learning is to grow. They are responsible not only to the faculty and the students, but also to the whole superstructure which frames our college. The faculty is directly responsible for the actual learning experience. Within the classroom, each member of the faculty should personally involve himself in the intellectual development of every student. Because of the unique atmosphere which exists at Fisk, the learning process is not limited to the classroom but branches out to reach all aspects of college life. 45
