Professor L. L. Smith appears to be divulging some very interesting information to his most attentive colleagues. The aclministralion and faculty guided us. . I-IE administration and faculty guided us, prepared us, showed us new horizons. Most of them we liked-great knowledge-thoughts on Truth, Justice, Life-we wanted to know them beyond the lectures and the classroom lexicon-'cl give no make-up examinationsv- You may cut this class at your own riskl'- Sign the honor pledge after you finish the quizv-we talked to them after class about studying in France, in Germany-about med school-asked. them to criti- cize our short story, to hear our composition- asked advice on graduate school-doctoral dis- sertations. VVe argued with them, lost our point and gained knowledge, gained insight-brilliant minds full of new thoughts-complex formulae on the board-sentences in the original Greek called up from inemory-discussion on Ioyce's Ulysses, Dylan Thomas, the Categorical Imperative, Ptocl1e,s Law-independent, individualistic, non- conforming, unclerpaid-showing interest-giving the break, the benefit of the doubt when there is little doubt-why?-they are dedicated. Registrars from all over the state assemble in the Russell House for their annual S. C. Registrars Conference. In the doorway of his office, Dr. Babcock talks with Dr. Seigler about weekend plans before heading home. -. ms...-.. ,. -

Year of Actin Presidency To THE STUDENTS or CAROLINA! The GARNET AND BLACK undertakes to depict the multifarious facets of university life, magnify- ing none at the expense of another. Regardless of the frills and trappings which often accompany modern education, regardless of the splendor and magnificence of physical sur- roundings, the center of a university is the class- room. Its throbbing heart is a student who wants to learn and a teacher who wants to teach. The classroom has been the center of this vener- able institution since the days of its founding, and must ever remain so. As long as the University has students with a passion for learning and pro- fessors with a passion for teaching it will be accounted a great institution. In the absence of these, no institution is more than a vaunted pre- tense and a whited sepulcher. I hope that the past year will be recorded as a significant one in which annals of the Univer- sity, one which, to paraphrase Virgil, will give you pleasure to contemplate and recall. ROBERT L.
