Education an d OH Lntzbicj All students at the Calgary Branch of the University of Alberta would agree that they are pursuing their education. There are many definitions of education, but the one I prefer is: Education is learning to think. This apparently simple definition is of great importance to university students. Man is unique among the animals in being able to think and speak. As a result of these special abilities he sets goals or purposes for himself. Stop for a moment and think of where you are—a student at the Calgary Branch; then think of where you, as an educated person, wish to be; lastly try to decide what road you should follow to reach the goals of an educated person. This all requires very hard thinking. During the last fifty years man has made great progress in his scien¬ tific relation to things and materials. In the last hundred years, observes Sir Richard Livingstone, the growth of democracy or man-to-man relations have transformed education from the privilege of a few to the right of all. In addressing the 1950 graduands of our University, President Robert Newton told his listeners to worship God, not the atom. Dr. Newton was speaking in terms of man ' s relation to the spiritual side of his nature. Education should aim to help you to think for yourself. As you move along life ' s pathways you may learn to sense those deeper problems essential to our happiness and which deal with our inner lives. Most of the people of today ' s world are divided because of two ways of thinking, or two philosophies—the Christian and the Marxian. If you continue your university education try to elect courses in philosophy or religion. Such courses are essential phases of your development because they will help you in your thinking. Seek the truth and you will find meaning in life. Some thinkers speak of this meaning as the ' divine ' in men; others call it ' right conduct ' or ' ethical behavior ' ; others term it the ' search for happiness ' ; and others de¬ fine it as ' living like a human being ' . Let each of you call it what you will. Remember always the motto of our undenominational university. Re¬ member that the University of Alberta professes no creed other than that expressed in its motto Quaecumque Vera . Do not turn aside the search for Whatsoever things are true. A. L. DOUCETTE — Director 9
