Millsaps Students — Unique but United At Millsaps College, students are known by names, not numbers. And the students seem to grasp every opportunity to stand out from the crowd. Although social conformity does exist somewhat, the majority of students establish their individuality, not by showing off, but by answering an internal need to find their own identity. Perhaps this stems from the intense academic pressure or from exposure to ideas never challenged in high school. But the result is clearly positive: a unique blend of emerging per- sonalities.

When is a Man Educated? When he can look out upon the universe, now lu- cid and lovely, now dark and terrible, with a sense of his own littleness in the great scheme of things, and yet have faith and courage. When he knows how to make friends and keep them, and above all, when he can keep friends with himself. When he can be happy and highminded amid the drudgeries of life. When he can look into a wayside puddle and see something besides mud, and into the face of the most forlorn mortal and see something divine. When he knows how to live, how to love, how to hope, how to pray — is glad to live . . . and has in his heart a bit of a song. Joseph Fort Newton

For new students, the first week of school is indeed an orientation; they must quickly form a newfound independence and throw themselves into a completely new environment filled with strange faces and events. One of these events is RUSH — an anxiety filled process which for many fills a gap left when high school friends disperse. Also during this week are the lines — endless cards to sign and bills to pay. For returning students, this week can be one of drudgery, one filled with technicalities before the process of the school year can be begun. But it is also one of rejuvenation — one of reunions with friends and a freshened perspective gained when viewing the youth and enthusiasm of the spirited Freshman class.
