Ernest Hemingway used part of the ending as a title for a modern nov- el . John Donne's words, written more than three hundred years ago, still live. Modern man is involved with all mankind. If a redwood forest is cut down, the loss affects each one of us. If an earthquake destroys a vil lage halfway across the world, our own city is made less. If our neigh- bor's house is robbed, if he is shot, if he dies, these events happen to us, too. His funeral bells are our funeral bells. All of us are together in this world, this civ- ilization,-thTs TT?e — as partners, as bro- thers— united by our common spark of humanity and by the fate which we all must share. A flower is complete only when it has all of its petals, just as a wheel is complete when it has all its spokes. Our cover design is a symbol of this unity, a unity which Jeffersonians are proud to possess. Similarly, students and their activities, both social and athletic, also academics and administration, are essential parts which complete the whole.
