A937 DOPE BENEDICT THL TWELFTH, in search of a great ' artist to decorate his new chapel, asked Giotto, the cele- brated Florentine painter, for a sample of his artistic prowess. Giotto, with little hesitation, drew a perfect circle freehand and offered that simple but astounding bit of artistry as an example of his genius. He got the job. We, on the threshold of graduation, have been striving for two years towards that day when we would round out that perfect circle that is so indicative of accomplishment. Now with freshly inscribed diplomas in hand and our eyes on the new worlds to conquer, we step out ready to take our places in the passing throng. In high hopes that the world will recognize in Dickin- son s diplomas the same essence of consummation and per- fection which Pope Benedict saw in Giotto ' s circle, we have built the l9 7 Dart around that symbol of completion, that emblem of quintessence — the circle. Throughout the Dart It IS to remind the members of IflWs classes that two years of happy, busy, quickly-passing life have made successful passage. Like Giotto, each graduate had drawn himself a circle of satisfaction in the completion of a long difficult task. But our border of interlinking circles is still more significant. It suggests that the future awaits the same earnest application and industry towards success. Another new circle awaits completion Thus, in praise of a successful past and in prognostica- tion of a similar future, we present the l 537 DART
