LLOYD H. ELLIOTT President , , it must he the purpose of the George W ashington University to bring its students and faculty to a clear understanding of the ongoing march of history without becoming blinded by the onr asking lights, to know and understand government with- out being a part of it , to come and to know life by both living and studying it , and to remain free in order that its unique contribution may be made to the self -generating process of the society which it seeks to strengthen „ If such a spirit can be kept alive and nourished, and if such purposes become the driving force in the lives of faculty and students, it matters tittle what among our specific courses , programs , or curricula may become the routine of the individual scholar , Each effort will find its niche within the over-all unity , each culture wilt find its identity and its dependence on others , and the sacrifice and dedication of the past will find fulfillment in the emerging stature of The George Washington University.
