REFLECT on registra- tion — the first day of school — the rush — the lines — the disappointment in not getting the course you wanted — the thrill of working your schedule out the way you planned it. There is the unexpected joy of seeing someone you haven ' t seen since last se- mester — the dread in see- ing someone you had hoped not to see. There are the courses which must be taken for graduation and the ones that must be retaken — the ones you need and the ones you want. REFLECT on your sprout- ing maturity. The inclination of thought before action, the assertion of belief rather than not caring, integrity rather than conformity. This too is a part of the panorama. REFLECT on the past. The future is ours but the past, too, is ours, for it adds to the future. Our past is our future; it irreducibly builds. This too is a part of the panorama.
