fcreward Bishop Tutu came here. So did Temples ' own King Midas, Eagles ' owner Nor- man Braman. Senator Arlen Specter visited here as well.

Here is Temple Univer- sity, school for over 31,000 students, home for 3,000 students living on or near Temples ' campuses, and foundations for the careers of over 150,000 living alum- ni. It is a school with pro- grams offered around the world, for students repre- senting all races, creeds and backgrounds. It is a school that recently celebrated its centennial year. It is a uni- versity for everyone. It is a university located in Philadelphia, home of the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Live-Aid and recent ra- cial unrest. It is a city like Temple University. Both are growing. Both are largely middle class. Both are so- cially concerned. For us, its students, Tem- ple represents many of its colleges. Of course, it is the College of Education. It ' s also the School of Business, a four year investment of time and money for hopeful future riches. It is the School of Social Administration, as 1 1986 Templar Temple University Philadelphia, Pennsylvania we interact with one another daily. It ' s the School of Hu- manities, as, we learn the science of where to park, the history of where and when we should walk unarmed, and the mathematics of fig- uring out how Bursar screwed us again. It is the School of Engineering when we think of how the various strange contraptions we see on Temple ' s lawns came about, and it ' s Tyler when we realize these contrap- tions are forms of art. We become a part of Tem- ple. We learn in Temple as we learn from our studies, ourselves and each other. On the outside, we work to pay our tuition bills. We use our education at Temple for our careers. We become a part of Temple ' s family, a member of its alumni. As Temple is bonded to Phila- delphia, so we are to Tem- ple, and Temple to us. Inside and out. It ' s that simple, and it ' s good. What we, the Templar staff and your fellow stu- dents, wish for you to re- ceive from this edition is the enjoyment of seeing at least four years of your life come right before your eyes and into your minds and hearts. That ' s it. As we said in our advertisements, this is your book. Temple is your school. As the commercial states, you chose Temple. Always be proud, God bless and warmest wishes for suc- cess.- 1986 Templar Staff Inside and out: An inside view of tine Templar office looldng out at ttie Bell construc- tion sigt)t
