Education One of the strongest and most influential fibers of the fabric is that of the curricular aspects of college. The uniqueness of this thread is vividly colored by the avowed concept of education which Tech pursues. To- ward this end the faculty strives to convey knowledge, students to absorb it, administration to provide and maintain the framework necessary for communication of learning. Communication of knowledge takes many guises- laboratory, recitation, and lecture participationg prob- lem solving, individual discussion, and an infinite Va- riety of methods of probing the Written Word. How effective is this communication? Tech's students are its delegates to the rest of the world, and their pro- fessional performance is used instinctively by others to gauge the quality, flexibility, and durability of the strand of education. Their past record is truly impres- siveg the record of those touched by the present fila- ment is yet to be tested. I!:5?41L, M' f 1 ft!

Although educa- tion and environment provide strong primary fibers for the basic weave, the brightly colored supporting threads of the Little Theater, Concert-Lecture series, the Student Education Corps, and Division of Con- tinuing Education add greatly to the final quality and finish of the fabric. Enrichment enhances the year by bringing to all participants and unselfish appreciation of facets of life not directly related to studies, recrea- tion, or enjoyment of surroundings, and to some a warm sense of accomplishment of helping others. HM ..' 1 Q As in every play, there must be makeup. In front of four distressed onlookers, a flustered Fred Alston exhorts his unwillingness gh Haw! to be a witness for the desperate Dennis Corcoran, in the play entitled, A Case of Libel. Prominent for its successes in the presentation of plays, as well as its talent, the Michigan Tech Little Theater gives students the opportunity to learn what goes on behind a stage as well as on it. In the play, The Physicists, a frustrated Inspector Voss questions Sir Issac Newton.
