Every area of expression within the University not only enriches the individual student but it is also promoted in return by the student who gains some mastery of it. Art appreciation eventually evolves into the imaginative, original creation of visual art And perhaps a vital conception of form, even in the commonplace, will be captured for posterity. In the same way do music and chemistry, and all of the other arts and sciences, advance by the accumulation of different expressions and new knowledge. Likewise is the society that supports the free inquiry into these disciplines continually enriched and invigorated. 16

Because of its continual quest to invigorate tfie fiuman experience, tfie University endows the individual with an enthusiastic outlook: that is greatly conducive to the spiritual enrichment of life. Instilled in him by his education, the student ' s commit- ments in life are of such a quality as to closely parallel the true spirit of the stated goals of our cultural religions. Many students express their convictions by actively participating in organized religions, while others gain strength through private faith. Due to their inescapable awareness of reality, members of the University community demand the genuine realization of spiritual ideals. Students gather to practice love and brotherhood in its purest sense. They abhor man ' s distortions of religious concepts portrayed in past chronicles and in present events.
