FOREWORD Pointing oulward. drawing man on to the un- known, the telescope may well be symbolic of the modern university. However, as we concentrate on the individual institution, it becomes a living, dynamic body which takes on a specific and dis- tinct character. In this light we see Princeton at- tempting to impart intelligence born through chal- lenge, a wisdom through experience, and a spirit acquired from environment. Apart from the physical existence of the uni- versity, Princeton becomes an elusive but sustain- ing ideal. With a faith in the humanities, the mercurial philosophy embraces a positive perspec- tive capable of molding a man prepared to meet life ' s exigencies with understanding and confi- dence. Its ultimate realization depends upon the degree to which eac h individual directs his hu- manistic endeavors in benefiting his fellow man in the kinetic world of today. The ideal has been studied, thrashed, and ignored at times, and yet it persists. The 1955 Bric-a-Brac has attempted to cap- ture on the following pages a comprehensive ex- position of the life, the body, and the spirit of Princeton University during the past nine months. For four years, the undergraduate is subjected to a host of demands, some to his delight and a few to his harassment. This book is the physical ex- pression of the undergraduate ' s triumphs and dis- appointments. A mirror for Princetonians, a guide for the curious, the Bric-a-Brac presents to all — Princeton, 1955.
