Students, Faculty Share Responsibility W’e are all too eager to think of college life solely in connection with the fun we have had and the friends we have made. Another vital part of our college years IS that centered in the classroom, where Faculty and students meet in the common bond of education. We have come to college primarily to fit ourselves for our life’s work. The ulti- mate goal of our college course is that of becoming a citizen, well-informed and useful to our community, our country, our world. To pass over this part of college life as a dull background to its social affairs is a grave mistake. Only through full cooperation of Faculty and students can the four years at Regis become the spring- board from which we move into adult life equipped to think and act as women, trained in a Catholic college. The Regis Faculty holds out the oppor- tunity. It rests with the students to make the most of it. It is their work to direct our talents, to supplement the knowledge we already have and to integrate our scattered ideas into a comprehensive and useful whole. Without the guidance of the Faculty, the students would be unable to proceed. If we can truthfully say that we have cooperated to our fullest extent with all that the Faculty has endeavored to do for us, we may leave Regis with a feeling of satisfaction. In working together, we have learned the lessons of diligence and conscientiousness to duty. We have learned how to take orders and follow them. We are being prepared to give orders, in a manner most conducive to results, for only through mutual co- operation will progress be achieved.
