The measure of a university is its students for it is only out of tfie presence and mingling of many different minds, personalities, and backgrounds that a university can evolve. It is the students who make the university what it is. It is their desire for knowl- edge that establishes its educational standards; their enthusiasm which gives it spirit; their interests which broadens its scope beyond the classroom; their activi- ties which give it life, and their conflicting ideas and causes that prevent stagna- tion. Without them the university is robbed of the very essence of its existence. It is merely a collection of empty buildings and dreams never to be fulfilled. Since a university exists because of and for its students, it is only through them that it can assume life — life created of many different individuals, each with his own personality, ideas and ideals, aspirations, and talents — yet all coming together to share their lives in attaining the ultimate goals of higher learning and human understanding. yf., ii Editor
