What makes up this huge thing, the Uni- versity of Maryland? There are over 8,000 separate individuals, all here for one purpose, disguised though it may sometimes seem, the purpose of learning. To teach them there exists what often appears to be a countless number of faculty members, and behind them stands the Board of Regents who in turn aids and advises the administration . . . Besides the people there is the intangible part of Maryland, the atmosphere it lends to all phases of college life — the friendliness and the sincere effort to help. Everywhere we find this atmosphere, on the campus, in the dorms, and in the classrooms. And everywhere we are beset by the immensity of our institution and the immensity of that which we started out to achieve. With every bit of information we pick up, we become a little more aware of our smallness as compared with the whole . . . we are but one of the thousands who are en- gaged in the pursuit of acquiring knowledge, but if we have learned to the best of our ability, then we have accomplished what we had set out to achieve. The faculty has done their part toward furthering us on our road . . .despite those Saturday classes and the pop quizzes, they have given us something wonderful, for they have taught us to under- stand our fellow human beings.
