In this book . . . through the words and pictures which comprise it . . . we have analyzed the tangi- bles and intangibles which consti- tute life at Ohio University. We have tried to present what you see everyday and what you fail to see everyday. We decided upon picture story format, to emphasize the motion inherent in campus life. From then on, Athena work was a problem of interpretation of the story ideas . . . what is a university, what is design, what goes on at a radio station? What is a student? . . . we ask- ed ourselves and put the answer in color . . . We inserted a bit of the modern ... a bit of the different . . . and a bit of the commonplace, seeking always hidden meaning, the hidden fact. We found ourselves caught in the repetition of ideas and continued to seek the new and the different ap- proach. To us the book is everything. To you it will be a constant reminder of the answers to the questions asked bv the 19. 8 Athena.

UNIVERSITY Kveiy .student looks forward to the day when lie wll receive his degree, signifying the completion of his formal education. Education The pui-pose of a college education is to prepare the student for his career, and foi- his role as a citizen. It is the responsibility of the university to create the opportunity and to some ex- tent, the motivation for the student to gain this education. To do this, Ohio University provides or- ganized knowledge presented in classrooms, also cultural and activity outlets. Here students are brought in contact with outstanding personalities from every field, both thiough convocations and class- rooms. Here also the student is given the opportunity to join any number of organi- zations through which he may not only broaden his viewpoint on specific interests but also develop qualities of leadership and group cooperation . . . necessities for an effective role as a citizen. But such efforts made by the University are useless unless the student realizes and accepts his responsibility to learn. Dr. Vang, Nobel Prize winnei ' in physics came to campus.
