History relates the story of the human race, mankind; a story which covers the lives, and events surrounding the lives of millions of people. Among these millions there are occasionally found those who, as indi- viduals, have distinguished themselves in a manner which marks them as extraordinary and who thereby stand out from their contemporaries casting a shadow of obscurity over them. We find this to be true in the arts, in literature, in the many aspects of human endeavors, and we come to call these men great . They exem- plify the ideal or perfection which those who follow in their footsteps attempt to attain and use as a norm in determining their goals. When we speak of greatness in the sphere of military generalship today in our world of conflicting ideologies with war impending at every corner, our minds focus on the names of Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon-ideals of the past which are approached by a few men like Eisenhower, Mac- Arthur, and Rommel in our lifetime. And the same parallel can be drawn with any of the fields of human ambition. It is in this spirit that we have based the theme of the history of the Class of '56. Certain men who are of the class entitled great will be named as representing the ideal of each of the schools within the college, the student government, the cultural, fraternal, and professional organiza- tions and all those which make up campus life at Manhattan.
