THE PRESIDENT PRESIDENT ROHRBACH EDUCATION FOR THE INDIVIDUAL Teachers and students here have a lingering reeling that human values, other than those that can be measured exactly, may be important. Re- cently. highly placed spokesmen in America have stressed the humanities and advocated the need for educational balance. The National Defense Educa- tion Act of the 85th Congress placed emphasis upon guidance, foreign languages, anad learning aids side by side with technology. It is hoped that emphasis in the language area may provide insight into other cultures and literatures which may not handicap military personnel to find their way around Karachi. Conceived in liberty. the nation's educational philosophy needs to emphasize individual freedom. Yet. how does one plan freedom, citizenship, and the teaching of values? Can these really be taught? Will teaching them enslave or liberate learners? Special guidance, if imaginative, may release the creative potentital of the individual. Help toward the solution of this problem may be found in the leading spirit of science. In this age of indetermination and probability when new doors are unlocked and new mysteries uncovered, there is small room for complacency or dogma. Before the awful expanse of the unknown, the scientist stands in dedicated excitement and humility. It is probably only the layman of limited vision who believes that human personality may be planned and programmed. Teachers, counselors, and educators will truly ed- ucate for the freedom of the individual if they can approach the unknown and the unique potentialities of each learner with the same humility and dedi- cation as the scientist who studies the mysteries of life, time and space. The trustees and the faculty rededicate them- selves to help the students of the'college to teach children as individuals. In doing this, human values are recognized and learners are not automatons but beings who have personalities. Quincy A.'W. Rohrbach '12 President May I. 1959 4
