Cicero once said, Studies are the food of youth, the delight of old age, the ornament of prosperity, the re- fuge and comfort of adversity.” Education is more than just book learning”, it is a style of life. It teaches us to strive for an open mindness, without immature pre- judice...to use tact and consideration in dealing with others....to enjoy beauty....to respect the sources of knowledge....to be at ease with all types of people.... and to become intelligent world citizens in a space age. The curriculum further develops our style by uniting the facts of knowledge and the faculty’s cosmopolitan ex- periences with the contrasting personalities of 875 indi- viduals. Through five courses of study....scientific.... liberal arts.....college.....commercial......and general, we seek the elusive rewards of education: the abilities to think, to appraise, to reason and to integrate facts in order to form valid conclusions. Fundamental ingre- dients of every mode of academic learning and teaching are....the course......the instructor....and the student. 20
