Goucher College - Donnybrook Fair Yearbook (Baltimore, MD)

lHElIllY HND HUMINI The greater part of this book deals with the students, their activities, and their organizations. In fact, we turn to DONNYBROGIC FAIR in order to recall these delightful aspects of college life. They are the pleasant memories which we always keep. Perhaps, then, it is quite Htting that only a small section of DONNY- BROOK is devoted to that part of Goucher life which is ultimately im- portant in the lives of all Goucher students-the faculty and administra- tion. We may need photographs to recall the people who pass us in the halls, who surround us in classes, who smile to us as we stroll along Twenty-third Street. The organizations that gave us pleasure in many different ways may, if not actively recalled, merge eventually into one undistinguished mass of activities. But the few pictures we have here of the faculty and administration are only a reminder of those who have imparted to each student who would accept the gift, a portion of their own minds. lt is not in the number of pages of true appreciation which a thankful senior class may devote in its yearbook that the faculty of Goucher College Ends its tribute. It is rather in the number of receptive minds which makes its work successful and fruitful. Those wonderful moments when mind meets mind, when, at the same time, the student discovers and the teacher rediscovers some sig- nificant fact, are fused in the student's memory. The professor is asso- ciated with something finer than a photographic image of his face-the germ of wisdom that he leaves on an impressionable mind. As that germ develops, as the idea is enriched with the thousand and one evidences of its truth, as the student grasps intellectually what she has heretofore accepted unquestioningly, she turns in gratitude to the mind that has shown her the way. Here, she feels, is knowledge that has helped to integrate her experience. The truth which she might have arrived at independently is sharpened by the awareness that, under the same cir- cumstances, another mind has reached the same conclusions. And it is at this point that the teacher's task is completed and the union of minds, begun in the classroom, is consummated. A college professor, striving to put across his subject, may never know where his ideas are taking root. It may be the girl who stares vacantly out the window, or the one who draws pictures all over her notes, whose mind is following his, step by step, and reaching his conclusions. He may never know just when it is that his own ideas are being transmitted to the mind of another. This is the miracle of education, and it is a beautiful thing. 3
