Long before the founding of Muskingum Col- lege, tribes of Indians roamed the lands where buildings now stand. ‘The beauty of the land in every season attracted various tribes and the camp sites were numerous. The life of the Indian was carried on in the midst of ceremony and a crude type of education. Through the converging of these two areas of activity, the Indian brave was prepared to accept his responsibilities in his un- civilized world. As it was with the early Indian inhabitants of this area so it is with us at Muskin- gum today. ‘The loveliness of the campus attracts and holds us and through our academic adven- tures and extracurricular experiences we are pre- pared to take our place in today’s more advanced and highly civilized world of opportunity. It is the hope of the 1958 Muscoljuan that through the realization of the heritage which history has given us, we at Muskingum may be able to see our life in a more meaningful and revealing light.
