A A year at George Fox College is many things, rang ing from bills from the bursar to Bruin Junior fights, from the tortures of finals week to the joy of a clear spring day; from the everyday reality of SAGA food to the spiritual renewal of a floor prayer meeting. George Fox is a total experience- a school where the discipline of learning is supplemented by the disci- pline of relevant spiritual values which affect every of life. Physical survival at Fox is difficult at times. It de- mands stamina, flexibility, and a system not easily overcome by cold and flu bugs— in short, all of the qualities implied in the phrase true grit. The nearly five hundred members of the college community are active people. They compete in ath- letics, and play tennis and pool in their spare time. They travel to represent the college. They produce plays and plan parties, and hold down jobs.

Just as important as the physical atmosphere on campus is the intellectual climate. Thought processes may begin in classes, but they certainly do not end there. They are constantly involved in the shaping of ir motives and attitudes, and in our ever-growing awareness of the world within us, as well as the world around us. Anything from a newscast to a bumper sticker ( Pro- tect Nixon or We ' ll Get Agnew ) to comic -strip phi- the out losophy may serve to provoke serious thought about the questions that face us as college students the war, grades, meaningful moral values, the draft, the new responsibilities of maturity, and long-range goals. Formal knowledge is most valuable as it helps us interpret and analyze; as it establishes relationships between the past and the present or the general and the specific; and as it gives us new and useful tools to work with.
