Old Under girds the New A village steeple, a cobblestone street, a roccoco flourish on the ironmonger'sgate: a little of the Old World charm mellows an age confronted with atomic bombs, Polaris submarines, New Frontiers, the gold drain, Barry Goldwater, andWoolworth stores. I n a time so preoccupied with materialism, a small Barvarian village seems a paradox; yet, from the quiet charm of just such a hamlet comes an important facet of our education. The foundations of Western learning come from the Old World. The faculty at Grand Junction have endeavored to combine these backgrounds with the new frontiers we are seeking today in an effort to enhance the knowledge and understanding of our generation.

Dedication “But, someday our two different worlds will be one.” Soon our generation must cross into the perplexities of the adult world. As we have grown and increased in knowledge and understanding so have the national and world concerns grown and expanded-atomic power, the space race, the Soviet challenge. The burden of responsibility for solutions will fall heavily on our shoulders. Can we carry this burden? Fifteen years ago, in the wake of a great war, free men everywhere met for the purpose of incepting a solemn covenant dedicated to a world freed from want, untainted by fear. And from their efforts sprang the United Nations--an instrument, -still young and vigorous, which our generation can wield to raise its burden. It is to the United Nations and the unknown Tigers who will work in the hope that someday our two different worlds will be one that the 1961 Tiger Annual is dedicated.
