Why am I paying $3,000 a year to go to school? To get an education. But wherein consists this ' education ' ? Mostly in the stuff that goes on at school. Oh. Redwood 74 is an attempt to jog the memory into recalling the stuff that went on at this school during this year, the stuff that hopefully somehow educated us. Thus the book has various sections devoted to the coverage of events, to more serious and in-depth articles featuring various innovations and traditions, and to Santa Clara ' s educators and educatees. This book attempts to show the pattern or direction that the stuff that went on took: events are arranged in rough chronological order from Fall to Spring; feature articles begin with innovations and proceed to traditions; people begin as freshmen orientees and end as graduating seniors. A freshman stands in a long line (the eighth he ' s faced since j .ientation began) and he asks himself apprehensively, What now? Will I find new friends, will classes be too hard? Why am I here ? 99

And as the stuff that went on is directional, so also is education itself, for education is man ' s peculiar way of directing hinnself toward— well, toward becoming whatever he wants to be. By directing his natural talents through the disciplines of education, man can perfect those talents, and he can use them to create; and so creating, man perfects himself. Education, then, may be thought of as this— growth in the direction of excellence.
