Try to Remember. . . Seeds Of Enlightenment We explore the pages of countless books . . . we seek the answers to the myriad questions in our minds ... we thrill to the joy of discovery we grieve in anguish when our quests come out in failure we weep when our goals go unmet. Still, we must be dared to explore and we must be challenged to seek. To this task our instructors are dedicated. They are given the responsibility of introducing to us the seeds of enlightenment. Through their careful guidance and patience the seeds take root. They are nourished by the teacher’s continual inspiration. A teacher’s goal is that his students might obtain the fruits of knowledge . . . his fervent hope is that his students will recognize the seeds and plant them. 16
