I I 5 till ft till Mnnnn Foreword The idea of individuality has assumed many arguments throughout society, and with time, scholars have devoted much thought to just what the individual is and how he becomes that individual. Theologists purport that the individual is the inner self expressed through some mystical evolution, and finally, through aware- ness of natural capabilities. Sociologists argue that there is no individual; for each of us have a predetermmed role which defines our function in whatever we do, and as such, it dictates who we are. Psychologists, philosophers, biologists and var- ied other esoterics have also sought to systematically prescribe the nature of the individual to some form of humanistic or scientific discipline. Individuality has become very much a search for identity, and just as this search has affected the thinking of the intellect elite, it has influenced the direction of the layman as well. In this regard, we at A T have been a distinct lot. We have not tended to systematically order our lives. We have wrestled with identity, and though we have felt a world-wide social influence, we have become a people who accept ourselves through values and reinforcements based upon the concept of self and existence. We are Aggies, and though others may cast us in all types of categories. We Are Somebody. I l.i} ' .! ' itU-jieva ' ' is?i«|. ' .jm» D? ' v i???Wi«K.5if» ' J,V. W(t5
