Spirit is a difficult thing to define. It is an attitude, a sense of involvement, a motivating force. It creates the enthusiasm and unity without which a university is merely a group of buildings and a student body is com- posed only of disinterested individuals. Spirit is the cohesive force which reconciles this diversity and gives life to the institution. It is spirit which has made South- ern Methodist University a dynamic influence in the field of education. A sense of dedication to learning creates a great university. Academic spirit is exemplified hy the inquir- ing mind of a student and the devotion to communica- tion of knowledge by the faculty. This is the spirit which gives meaning to our existence at SMU. Spirit is a spontaneous burst of enthusiasm. It is the spark which breaks the monotony of routine and gives everyday events a special significance. An after- noon at Turtle Creek, food fights in the cafeteria, a foreword N foreword 0 foreword 6? foreword winning Manada performance, a study break at E. T.'s . . . this is the part of college we'll remember long after other things have faded. Spirit is a desire to contribute to the university through participation in campus activities. It is the feeling of pride which comes from representing SMU at a recruitment dinner, the sense of accomplishment gained when your committee functions efficiently, the unity inspired by working together for one goal. Spirit represents competition and a desire to win for the teamg to the student body, it means interest, en- couragement, and team supportg for the alumnae, it is a warm memory and enthusiastic loyalty. Athletic spirit involves a sense of sportsmanship. It is playing against a team-hut, more importantly, it is playing for a team. The 1966 ROTUNDA is dedicated to spirit, in all its aspects, in the hope that it will continue to grow with the university.
