On this page you see the essential part of the motif, a circle with lines radiating from it. On the opening page of this yearbook are two solid circles surrounded by concentric circles which intersect each other. One solid circle represents The University of Akron and the other the city of Akron. The three concentric circles surrounding each solid one indicate spheres of influence for which each is responsible. There are three dots where these two sets of concentric circles intersect. These dots sym- bolize the social, cultural, and intellectual development which is made possible through the close co-operation of the University and the city. The radiating lines from each solid circle indicate avenues of philosophy, going in many directions, but starting from common grounds, the city and the municipal University of Akron. lt has been said that a city cannot attain greatness unless it has a great university. lf there is close co-operation be- tween town and gown, as our president once said, both the institution and the community prosper. That is what we are representing throughout the sections of this, your i955 Tel- Buch. 4
