Dr. F. George Shipman The President ' s Message One definition of REFLECTION is consideration in the mind of ideas, purposes and goals. Reflections by students in attendance at Livingstone during the last fifty years are recorded in part in the yearbooks published within that span of life. This year represents the fiftieth anniversary of the publishing of a yearbook. It chronicles the broad spectrum of reflections by students. Students in 1977 are just as concerned with the nature of REFLECTIONS as were the students in 1927 — Consideration in the minds of ideas, purposes, and goals. That ' s what getting an education is all about. Education in its deepest sense is the improvement of man so that he wi: be a thinking individual, a person of ideas, who is not afraid of the validity of his conclusions. Education fails unless the student reflects productively on purposes and goals. These purposes, says the writer, Norman Cousins, must be translated into preparation for understanding, preparation for earning, preparation for living and preparation for participating in the problems involved in making the world better. I congratulate the current yearbook staff on its theme, REFLECTIONS, and it is my hope that the yearbook will record for posterity those student reflections of 1976-1977 that will be viewed with pride in the years to come.
