In an endeavor to show how truly well-rounded the students of Harvey Mudd College are, we shot this picture. The individuals in this picture all have one thing in common, they go to HMC. However, this is where the resemblance stops. Each of these people have their own ideas of fun that lie outside school work. These are the partiers, skiers, sailors, sportsmen, and general funlovers that make HMC well-rounded. 205

WHY NOT SQUARE? Contrary to local opinion, Harvey Mudd students really are well-rounded. Not surprisingly, it was planned to be that way; in the 1950 ' s. Harvey S, Mudd, then chairman of the Board of Fellows of the Claremont Colleges and an internationally known mining engineer, decided that a college was needed which stress- ed science and engineering but didn ' t neglect the humanities and social sciences. The plans for such a college were well under way when Harvey Mudd died; the college was founded on December 14, 1955 on the Claremont Colleges campus and named in honor of the man who inspired it. Today Harvey Mudd College students find themselves getting a thorough grounding in all the sciences to round out the major program, while at the same time taking a substantial number of courses in the humanities and social sciences, including a concen- tration in a particular area. They end up being more well- rounded, academically, than students at other technical institutions. While academics are important to Harvey Mudders, they don ' t stay permanently chained to their desks. A donation made by Henry Mudd, Harvey ' s son, in 1956, made possible a joint athletics program with Claremont Men ' s College; this has grown to become the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps program in which many Mudders participate. For those not inclined towards inter- collegiate competition, there are intramural sports essentially year-round; and minimum P.E. requirements have been establish- ed for all students, on the presumption that ani one who lives in Southern California should know how to run and swim. But well-roundedncss doesn ' t stop with academics and athletics. It ' s been said that every Mudder has a hobby ; the variety of hobbies seen a Mudd would probably surprise anyone who didn ' t know a college student (and maybe a few who did). All things considered, we think Harvey Mudd would be pleased with the well-rounded people his college has produced. 206
