As a nation searches for an island of peace, a break from the pressures of the world, some complete their search, eking out such a hiatus for themselves. By consent of administration, faculty, and students, Lipscomb limits itself to its own confidence in Christian values and God’s truth. It provides a brief respite in the quick pace of maturity, a respite in which the student can reflect, can gain a sense of per- spective and establish a sense of direction. 12 Prologue

With life thus simplified, with time standing vir- tually still, one has time to define himself, to al- low God’s maturing action to work. Unlike the larger university where in dividuality is perpetu- ated only in spite of the monolithic system, the small college affords opportunities to grow, through forming friendships, through participat- ing in activities, through learning about God and man, to set ourselves apart from one another and know who we are and why we are here. 14 Prologue
