WE ENTER NOW A PERIOD OF TRANSITION AND DEVELOPMENT When the student arrives at Northwestern, there is a new way of life waiting for him. First he gets accustomed to life in the dormitory. He selects his major field of interest and begins his active pursuit of a vocation. He makes new friends and each day is exposed to new views and attitudes on different subjects, thus broadening his scope of knowledge and understanding. Years at Northwestern develop in the student a capacity for self respect, a concern for his fellow man, a loyalty to his school and country, and a clear conception of life ' s values. His maturing of character reveals itself in lasting friendships, trust and integrity. All of these experiences contribute to mold him into a mature individual, and prepare him for his place in society.

DEDICATION Eighty years of countless students have entered to learn — left to serve. For decades in the future students will come for this same purpose. It is to these we dedicate the 1964 Potpourri. To those who have passed down the college ' s corridors of learning pausing briefly to grasp her wisdom and ideals, contributing to her growth and leaving to enter another phase of their life. To those present who seek to achieve her purpose and work ardently that those to come may profit. During the years spent at her fountains of knowledge come the cherished memories which linger on to become a part of the tradition of our College. Unconsciously they leave their hap- piness and heartache, their mode of dress, new fads and expressions, the latest song and dance. Faces and names will grow dim with time but small memories and the spirit of those who come ever linger somewhere inside her walls. The men of the earliest year join hands with the students of today to accept this dedication. With only the sprawling buildings, streets, and campus the college could not have grown, but her students have instilled in her the breath of life in years past, present, and in the years to come. This book is rightfully dedicated to the students, the life of Northwestern.
