A building is made ol many thingsmoi brick, of iron, of steel, ol plaster and of glass-it'sworked over by many hands. Rockford College is such a building. lt's material creators were the hands that worked over it such long years ago. They were the builders in tact, they were the masons in deed. But each generation of students here has brought another type of masonry-a type without which all the brick, iron, steel, stone, plaster and glass in the world would mean absolutely nothing-a masonry in thought, building with careful hand and hopeful heart brick upon brick oi just law and sensitive judgment of this law, until at last, there comes to exist a Framework of solidified dreams beneath the impersonal steel framework of what might have been just another building. SGA and judicialfouncil are manifestations of the work of one hundred and four years ol students in their strivings to attain mature sell-government. The object of their struggle is to create a foundation, not For a block area oi school buildings, but For a world area of tree, democratic citizens. This human foundation is alive and growingn-it does not end with the ground on which it is built: it's principles ot building spread and are accepted everywhere where there are people who believe in the worth of each individual's contribution to a group, ora state, ora world. At Rockford, we know this value. Some perhaps are not immediately or acutely conscious of it, but all of us, should the principles of democracy be threatened, would be quick to fully realize and defend the truth of the basic theory on which our democracy is founded. That each person counts lor one-not more and not less. That each person has a right to voice his one and to help formulate the laws that are to rule him and his fellows. Qur judicial Council contributes to the encouragement of a democratic system in that it helps us experience, through judging and being judged, that the rule of the many can benefit the few. ltdoes this by having an honest, impartial judging body which realizes the importance of tempering judgment with a humane regard for mitigating circumstances and lor consideration oi the intent rather than the act, Together, SGA and judicial Council form the source and stream of the democratic impulse which runs through a small college in the town ol Rockford, Illinois. 14
