Mississippi College - Tribesman Yearbook (Clinton, MS)

A thousand hopes, a thousand expectations are united in the cosmos which is Mississippi College in a search for individual identities. This investigation of life, its purpose, goals, bridges the distance between sympathy and antipathy, likeness and difference, in a context where the dissimilarities separating individuals-physically, emotionally, intellectually -are probably less marked than they will ever be again. Though separate entities, their lives flow coniluently toward one ultimate aim-a unified effort to realize capacities and potentials. With this oneness of purpose, they become the life of Mississippi College and Mississippi College becomes their life, the union of the whole and its segment affected in the giving of each to the other. j . 9 u a, A1255 it U if - X1 ff ii nfs, fl V A ,SICK-95

if . PN Q. s -ax 2' i , f ' lu S We have sought to comprehend the puzzling web of the student-college mystique-to explore, probe, and chronicle the interaction of individual with totality. Now we depart . . . the whole disintegrates . . . the identity becomes unrecognizable. Every person, though, retains that which he lent for a time to the encompassing self, the moving, thrilling meaning of MC, 1967. He takes it back to Atlanta, to Gunnison, to Columbia, and in city after hamlet, uses it in other contexts, lives it in other lives. The whole was good, but only insofar as it contributed something of value to its members, and after filling that purpose, must be dismantled-but not, hopefully, forgotten or even dis-remembered.
