THEME C ULTURE, one of the highest aims of civilized man, is the theme selected for this volume of the Grist. It is through the medium of Greek mythological figures that this idea has been carried out. The temple of honor, in which the seniors are enclosed, represents the sturdy struc- ture of the college and the various courses that we have at the present time. The top and bottom borders, found in the greater portion of the book, are symbolical of victory and success. If this volume of the Grist has instilled in the minds of its readers the desire for culture, then its purpose will have been fulfilled.

TO THE CLASS OF 1933 H AVING been asked to write a few words for inclusion in the 1933 Grist, I wish to congratulate you on the selection of Culture as the unifying theme of your year book. The word culture represents one of the noblest conceptions of the human intellect. It is an idea as old as civilization, I suppose, yet infinitely fresh and vital. May it not be too much to hope that it will become a valid personal ideal for each one of you, and that it will remain so through all the years of your life. What is culture? Precise definition is not easy, for the term has meant many things to many men. Certainly it includes the acquisi- tion of knowledge, but it strikes deeper than that, to the sources of personality. It means the cultivation of innate capacities of mind, and body, and spirit. Again true culture involves harmonious, well balanced development; it implies a fine sense of proportion. No narrow specialist ever exemplifies the fruits of culture. Breadth of interests, without superficiality, marks the really cultured man or woman. Culture means, in the inspiring words of Dr. William DeWitt of Bowdoin, to be at home in all lands and ages; to count Nature a familiar acquaintance and Art an intimate friend; to gain a standard for the appreciation of other men’s work, and the criticism of your own; to carry the keys of the world’s greatest library in your pocket, and feel its resources behind you in whatever you undertake; to make hosts of friends among the men of your own age who are to be leaders in all walks of life; to lose yourself in generous enthusiasm, and cooperate with others for common ends.” Irving L. Churchill
