THEY ELUCIDATE

Page 22 text:

Human progress has ever been the motivating force of Hendrix College. Here the attack on ignor- ance and prejudice is unimpeded by the extrinsic forces which elsewhere limit free thought. Here is no necessity, no desire, to defend particular doc- trines; truth, the key to progress, is the goal. Ever consicous of the goal, the group of scholars which is the faculty of this College explores and frankly dis- cusses all phases of society’s many problems with no fear of censorship. For here the heritage of the past and the vision of the future have been welded into a pro- gressive curriculm aiming at an integrated, cultural education. Such ambitious objectives require extra- ordinary leadership—persevering mentors who are forever young in spirit. Of such a calibre is the Hendrix faculty. Here in academic halls and scientific laborator- ies, men who traffic in facts, ideas, and ideals pon- der the problems of a changing world. Youth may simply record the facts in notebooks, but the ideals of exemplary characters are indelibly graven into its consciousness. Thus, from the character and intellectual cour- age of its faculty, spring the vitality of Hendrix tra- ditions. Under the inspiration of these critical and inquiring minds, youth can unfurl] its banners and go forth—resolute, valiant, and unafraid.
