THE PAST The past is found not only in a history course. Art, music, and literature give to us the masterpieces of other ages and cul- tures. Science is the product of past observations and of formu- lation of theories. These areas reveal the range of mankind,s capabilities-from making wars to making sonnets. The person who studies the past begins to understand his cultural and social background. He meets great men and not so great men, benefit- ing from the perspective which time and distance offer. He can see the significance in the experiences of others who have lived before him. From his own reactions to what he learns he dis- covers his beliefs. That study is in vain, however, which is undertaken in slavish devotion to the past and not related to resolving the conflicts of the present and the future. The purpose of the in- tense and thorough studies here at Oxford is not the cramming of inert facts into a reluctant skull. Oxford's success is in the personal success of the individual student as she relates and utilizes her knowledge-the first step toward wisdom. Here discipline is both cause and result of appreciation. We at Oxford have been made especially aware of learning as a creative process which transcends the passive posture of merely being taught.
