SELECTION OF COURSES IS THE CORNER STONE OF ONE ' S ACADEMIC FOU NDATION, ON WHICH ALL FUTURE PLANS DEPEND Freedom of MANIFESTATIONS of creative thought are the result of knowledge of elementary principles, which is freely applied. To have been severely restrained is to know the meaning and the exultation of freedom, for it is through contrast that we see most clearly. The freedom of opportunity surrounds us. We are in such close contact with it daily, that often we are unaware of the presence of this intangible. How- ever, the making of choices— the selection of one or more of a number of alternatives— that is inherent in opportunity, transforms this intangible into a practi- cal, concrete reality. The avoidance of decisions is the waiving of one ' s right to opportunity. To try out for the tennis team, to make an analysis of the balance of trade, to steer a committee— this is to take advantage of opportunity. It implies involvement and application of self.

SPIRITUAL FREEDOM ALLOWS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF EXAMINATION WHICH LEADS TO AFFIRMATION OF ONE ' S FAITH FREELY EXPRESSED ideas and views, objective news, and pertinent articles are possible through wise staff evaluation. opportunity These four years are laden with freedom of oppor- tunity. Their outcome depends upon our acceptance of the responsibility which this freedom entails. We are free to color our lives with the manifestations of success through initiative— or failure through lack of it. A law student may type in order to send him- self through school; a humanities major may learn to paint so that he may better appreciate fine art; an English student may work on a school publica- tion for practical experience— or they may not. Freedom of opportunity implies only decision, not the right decision. The fruitfulness of decision is up to the individual. It ' s in anticipation of produc- tivity and growth through freedom of opportunity that 1961 commences. The horizon extends wide and un- blemished before us.
