WHO'S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIESQ Dale Fast, Lois Peters, Galen Toews, Dave Klaassen, Judy Franz, Don Ratzlaff. Dr Roger Pankratz A school is a small community unto itself, and without intellectuals it, like a country, is like a body without a head. These intellectuals are at two levels - the professor and the student. Although two levels exist, there must be a constant sharing of ideas between the levels to keep the head of this body alive. To build an excellence in students, there must first be an excellence in faculty. This excellence in the members is denoted by constant searching, questioning, and understanding. Through their search, the members guide students in their reach for excellence. This excellence is characterized by scholarship, leadership, service, and usefulness. 27

-it le INTELLECT What we need most urgently is to recongnize the enormous power and the crucial importance ofthe intellectual professions. A culture cannot exist vvith- out a constant stream of ideas and the alert, inde- pendent minds who originate them, it cannot exist without a philosophy of life, without those who for- mulate it and express it. A country without intellec- tuals is like a body without a head. - Ayn Rand - Dr. Abram Konrad, Academic Dean HONORS COMMITTEE: G. Toews, Fl. Harms, lVlr. J. Ewert, Dr, A, Konrad, Dr. C.

2 in-ml..,.,,,,q -ibrcl ry Psychology Chemistry Student Teaching Academics I have to say that half my power of ascertaining facts ofany kind connected with the arts, is in my stern habits of doing the thing with my own hands till I know its difficulty: and though I have no time, nor wish to acquire showy skill in anything, I make my- self clear as to what the skill means, and is. -John Ruskin- The academic program ofTabor is designed to foster a climate stimulating the integration of knowl- edge and understanding and the formulation and expression of ideas. This academic program does so in five comprehensive divisions: Bible and philoso- phy, the humanities, natural science and mathemat- ics, the social sciences, and education and applied arts. In all of these divisions majors are offered and opportunities for application of the facts are possible. Three junior students are combining a yearabroad with their studies and experiences at Tabor. These students are Linda Harms and Keith Harder in Ger- many and Judy Dick in Mexico. Flon Janzen and Charles Hohm, sophomores, are studying second semester on board a ship sponsored by College of the Seven Seas.
