to receive a diploma requires a great deal of knowledge, however, to be a man or woman also requires a great deal of knowledge, yet, knowledge of another sort. this different type of knowledge has been reaped by us, the class of nineteen hundred and sixty-nine, in our four years sojourn at Springfield college. there have been innumerable persons, places and things which have instilled this special knowledge within our minds, in retrospect, let us now attempt to recollect these forces which have molded our minds and bodies, fall of the year nineteen hundred and sixty-five witnessed the following: dr. wilbert e. locklin leaves john hopkins to become president of Springfield college frosh lose the rope pull midterm examinations approach as does panic exposed to the trials and tribulations of the first month of a college education, we seemed to harken back to the words of kobodaishi, when he remarked . . . flow, flow, flow, the current of life is ever onward. therefore, with chins up, we proceded into winter term, yet, we felt greatly hurt when our football team lost a bowl bid. as emerson once remarked, to be great is to be misunderstood. the cold winter winds commenced to blow across lake massasoit as winter enveloped our tiny hamlet, the wise man looks into space and does not regard the small as too little, nor the great as too big; for he knows that there is no limit to dimensions. our administration must have taken heed to lao-tse's ingenius remark, for the western massachusetts electric buildings adjacent to our campus became, in fact, part of our campus in january. continued on page 28 vincent I. adam deborah barone cynthia billings 24
