The theme of this year's Kaleidoscope suggests a somewhat more scientific approach. When the apostle Paul first used the expression fColos- sians 2:17l, he was speaking of various ceremonies in Old Tes- tament time as indicators of what the Messiah would be like. In other words, look at the present to predict the future. What then are the present e 5 -I '--xi?-Q Ending a hot summer, the college church awaits a new freshman class to enter Hampden- Sydney.

B.B. fBefore Buntingj, the College had fallen on very hard days academically, eco- nomically, and in reputation. In the Bunting era--more accu- rately the Bunting-Poteet years-the College took some great risks. Other expensive, private colleges began to ac- cept measurably less compe- tent studentsg and when they enrolled them, they lowered standards by grade inflation, easier courses, and ridicu- lously low retention require- ments.

We flew in the face of the po ular wisdom, if not of logic andjreason--but we won! And we did it without moving to a city. This then is my first redic- torg here is the ushadiow of things to come. A new admin- istration, it is earnestly hoped, guided by the present board- unique mixture of alumni and nonalumni across a very broad educational and occupational spectrum-will ensure that present trends in admissions requirements, cost, and class- room standards continue. And they will observe that it can be done in the country and with males only. It is a battle best won without capitulation to popular demands. Present trends, the predic- tive shadows of things to come, certainly indicate that the curriculum will be broad- ened a little to include majors in sociology and anthropology and to increase the fine arts offerings as in other excellent college. ,On the other hand, courses in business as such will offered. The conser- mix in the 1 -.A , .,.-. l'QiQ1g!f5ri': 3 faculty will insist on that. Elsewhere, present trends fshadows of things to comej lead me to believe that campus life will be organized a bit more about the residence halls, thus serving all Hampden- Sydney men. Fraternities will be country clubs for those who want them but will not becomeutotal institutions in themselves fif I may be per- mitted one sociological term.l Career placement will ebb and flow with the market for liberal arts graduates. Physical and psychological health ser- vices will expand to help stu- dents deal with- stresses of an increasingly complex world. But what about the men who are graduating from I-Iampden-Sydney now, for whom this will be their senior- year Kaleidoscope? Shadows of things to come, our predic- tor, would point of a continu- ing number of them successful in olitics, business, banking, and? the health fields. A decreas- ing number will be attracted to the law ftoo crowdedj and teaching not sufficiently re- wardin In their personal lives, tie vast majority will look back u on these days on the Hill as tliieir happiest, will continue to nurture the friend- ships made here, will support the College most generously, and will hope to hear someone tell them that the latest crop of students doesn't come up to them, and that they are not being educated as well as they were, secretly happy that it s 0.3 ' 'ft' fr. i' ' u . .: . l , 4 Q ,jr ,,,4,',:..-H, - . mga, e '3fQ?Eih..i a an ,,,,..J 'H- N , --Y'-lv . v-qw l I
