You would not' indicated some ability and willing be here unless your past record ness to benefit by the opportuni- ties which the University of California has to offer you on the Riverside campus. The University assumes not only that you can do college work, but also that you want to do it as proverbial horse- who can be led Robert Gordon Sproul President of the University but rather as a place where you part in every kind of curricular well as you are able. Unlike the to water but caift be made to drink, you have not been led but have come of your own volition, and presumably you either have a thirst for knowledge or you are not adverse to developing one. With the above assumption in mind, I would like to point out that a thirst for knowledge is one of the best stimulants to a reasonably happy life. It is one thirst that should be cultivated rather than quenched. Students who come to a university like camels expecting to make what they drink last a lifetime are not much better off than those who like the balky horse, refuse to perform at all. You should not look on the Riverside campus, ptherefore, as simply a place where you live learn to live. This means taking and extra-curricular activity for which you can reasonably find time. Thus you may make your stay here a part of your life, and not a haphazard prologue. ROBERT G. SPROUL Reminder . . . All students are reminded that study-list books are to be filed today and tomorrow between the hours of 8:30 and 4:30. There will be a two- dollar penalty for late filing. Applications for scholarships are also currently available in the regis- trar's office for the 1954-55 season. BUS SCHEDULE Students needing transportation to and from Riverside may use the Fon- tana Bus Lines. Buses leave the Grey- hound Depot on Market street near seventh street on the hour from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. On the return trip from March Field, they can be flagged at the Canyon Crest entrance to the campus at about 20 minutes to the hour. Fare is 15 cents a single trip or 10 tickets for 31.40. Next Tuesday President Robert Cordon Sproul of the University of California will personally greet students on the Riv- erside campus at a reception February 28 in the new Physical Education building. The reception will be held in the social activities and dancing room of the PE building. Following that, a dance will be held in the gymnasium. Married students are invited to bring their wives, even though this is to be essentially a non-date affair. Dress will be informal. With President Sproul in the re- ceiving line will be Mrs. Sproul, Vice- President and Mrs. Harry R. Well- man, and Provost and Mrs. Gordon S. Watkins. Faculty members of the new Col- lege of Letters and Science, as well as Science and academic staff mem- bers of the Citrus Experiment Station will also attend the event, tradition- ally held each semester on the five university campuses which offer un- dergraduate instruction. Philosophy Prof Also A Writer of New Book A distinguished member of UCR's first faculty is Dr. Phillip Wheel- wright, visiting professor from Dart- mouth College. Dr. Wheelwright taught this Fall at Pomona College and is teaching philosophy this semester at UCR. Dr. Wheelwright took his under- graduate and graduate work at Princeton University, and has been a member of the Princeton, New York University, and Dartmouth philosophy departments and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. . He is noted for his work on literary criticism and the philosophy of re- ligion, and is the author of many articles and books. Among the books are the Way of Philosophy, published last Monday by the Odyssey Press and A Study in Symbolism, which will be published by Indiana Univer- sity Press later this year. UCR is proud to welcome Dr. Wheelwright as its first visiting pro- fessor.
