Frederick M. Binder, President TIME IS A TRINITY Human existence is divided into three common phases of time: past, present, and future. To break completely with the past is to sever the tap root of existence. The reasons for being are left to lie in the rich earth of yesterday. When undue attention is directed toward the past, the present is neglected and dissolves in nostalgia or un- reality. The dreamer of dreams or the master of procrastination may elect the fu- ture as his special element of time. Yesterday then becomes a vague shadow and today a .troublesome twilight zone. The new day is in the future, yet constantly elud- ing its pursuer. The individual, if he is to live and progress, must embrace the past, the present, and the future with equal fervor. For time is a trinity, divisible, yet indivisible. Un- less he is willing to destroy himself, a human being cannot dwell completely in one phase. He must inhabit all three. As it is with the life of an individual, so it is with the life of a college. The church- related college, established in the liberal arts tradition, gains pride and strength from the ideals of its founders. That which is good is preserved. That which has been disproven is either discarded or molded to fit existing circumstances. The present life of a college is dedicated to academic excellence, which is maintained only when the faculty, administration, and board of trustees consistently and pur- posefully look to the future. If the private liberal arts college is to thrive, it must draw its strength from its heritage. It must lead, not follow, in the present dynamic world of education. And, it must reach toward tomorrow, expanding and improving with a steady and con- fident sureness. Only when it moves along these paths, will a college endure and be worthy to be called an institution of higher learning. Frederick M. Binder President 6
