CRIST

Page 11 text:

While in college, we have ample opportunity to avail ourselves of many theories of life and of living. We find it difficult to accept any one theory, and sometimes we place ourselves on a pedestal supposing that everyone else is foolish in striving for ideals, ambi- tions, and hopes. We suppose that we are different and that we live independently, free from personal entanglements and obliga- tions. Such, however, is not the case. Although college enables us to attain a certain amount of independence, it also teaches us the fundamental concept of inter- dependence which is so important in contemporary society. In all fairness to ourselves and to our fellow men, we must admit the importance of personal cooperation, and we should learn to derive the full benefits therefrom. The past four years have brought many new friends and new acquaintances. It would be well to give a little serious thought to the significance of such relationships. Because of the prevalence of an unfriendly attitude in modern society and because of the need of any college graduate to have a stabilizing influence in planning his or her future life, the 1939 Grist is hereby dedicated to one of the intangible, but real, benefits of a college education — the foundation of college life ■ — ■ - 7 -
