THE COMMU ITY- in which we live. . . THE HISTORY OF c1v1L1zAT1oN is the history of mankind gathering together in larger and larger communities. Gregarious by nature, we have found that the way to increase the scope of our experiences and to enrich our personalities is to associate with others. The community which man has built is a heterogeneous mixture of individuals and groups of individuals. Pos- sessing all types of characteristics and typifying many different backgrounds, these individuals have created the community according to their tastes and needs. It is their spirit and determination which have guided it during its evolution. At Pennsylvania we find ourselves members of a com- munity devoted to education. Here, surrounded by a great city, the University offers a multitude of services to its citizens and facilitates their intellectual growth. Our campus community is different from most in that its members are not joined together merely by geographical ties, but by purpose, and each citizen combines his ambi- tions, skills, talents, and desires with those of others to share in the advancement of the community and the development of its inhabitants. The University has played an important role in the experience of each of us during the p3St four years, a role which will become more evident as we progress in society. This year, in the 1955 RECORD, we shall attempt to portray on these pages the ways in which it has influenced us. We have acquired a great pride in our University as a result of our association with it, and have found here the beginnings of our plans for the future. Here also we have taken our first steps along the paths which will guide us in the years to come. Now, as we prepare ourselves to assume the responsibilities of citizens in a larger and vastly more complex community, we are grateful for the time we have spent on the campus and for the opportunities which Pennsylvania has provided us.
