'Th -1mrH51 ' MID e VIKING ARIEL 1-nw J s DR. HENRY RQERRITT XVRISTON President of Lawrence College College is more than the curriculum and its studies 5 it is more than activities,- athletic, dramatic, musical, or other. College is four years of life in a unique society- in circumstances conditioned, consciously, to be different from the life of the Workaday world, yet withal, sampling the situations that must later he met. So college opens the Way to intellectual enlightenment, to social experience, to finan- cial and economic responsibility, to the development of aesthetic taste, to character growth. It is a controlled experiment in the art of living. V To be effective it must be Varied-for life is a jewel of many facets, its cuttings are complicated. It is not wholly a record of triumphs and achievements, or joys and pleas- ures. If it Were, it would not he valid experience. This record, like most data for history, is not complete. Each who reads it must supply parts that will never be known to others-for him they will be essential, but not for all. But here is the broad outline, and many enlivening details of trial life , which is college. ' HENRY M. WRISTON Pagei18

X NIARGUERITE Woonwouru Dean of Women A small college is uniquely able to create an atmosphere which is rich in the intellec- tual, spiritual and aesthetic values which each of us wishes to realize individually. Un- hampered by the number of centrifugal forces which enter into life in a large university, we live in an environment which is selective. We do not have all the music there is, but we have the best that the world offers. We have few pictures in our dormitories but those few are by the masters. If our social contacts are limited, we are able to enter into more meaningful and genuine relationships with our fellows. Intimacy with each other, as teachers and students, gives stimulus to intellectual activity, and makes for a better under- standing of our mutual efforts toward self-realization. In the small college we may experience many direct personal appreciations of art, of persons, of organizations, of the things of the spirit and of the mind. These appreciations lead to the development of standards which are adopted not because they are conventional, nor because they are considered earmarks of culture, but because they are personally known to be of worth. If we allow to enter into our environment at Lawrence only the best things, we may not only mature our intellectual powers, but we may in the process acquire a sense for beauty and a sense for conduct.
