We at Washington College must never lose sight of the fact that we are an educational institution. For more than 192 years we have served our clientele well and faithfully. We have established our identity and our abili- ties. We cannot try to be all things to all people. ... It is the spirit that is important and a very real necessity to that spirit is to attempt by every means possible to show the student how to wonder why, how to set up an hypothesis and how to test the validity of his own conjectures. Everything is not known; in fact the more that is known, the more we realize that there are a great plenty of challenges in the realm of any discipline. Do not accept the trite phrase, the candied capsulized fraud- ulent labels-ask the responsible ' why ' and do it in good spirit. ... If this be the liberal arts tradi- tion at Washington College then we will make the most of it. We are proud of our heritage and confident in our future.

Hurtt Deringer Emotionally spent, physically dead, Washington College ' s lacrosse team returned to Chestertown Sunday having won respect and prestige with a brilliant performance in the 3rd annual Hero ' s Tournament. Playing three games in three days, the Shoremen convincingly dispatched Brown, Ivy League champions, 11-6, then pushed national champion Maryland to the brink in a superhuman effort before bowing, 12-10, and finally, worn-out, lost to Towson, 12-8, in - an anti-climactic finale. Opening Friday against: Brown University, Washington spotted the Bruins a goal in the first 19 seconds, then with a precisioned offense cut the Rhode Islanders to ribbons while goaltender Bryan Matthews, fantastic throughout with 16 saves, blanked them for 36 minutes. Tom Regan danced through on dodges twice and John Cheek made it 3-1 at the first period gun. Mike Cordrey, Greg Lane, Jody Haddow and Cheek netted second quarter goals for a 7-1 lead by halftime. Cheek and Tom Mangels fired in third period tallies and Washington College held a dominating 9-1 lead by the end of the quarter. Don Kelly emptied his bench in the fourth period and Brown made the score respectible in the closing minutes. Saturday saw Washington College (750 students) in against the University of Maryland (20,000 students), winners over Rutgers, 1+4, and reigning national champions. The Terps on cuts and dodges built a 4-0 edge before freshman John Cheek with a frozen-rope gave the Shoremen a goal in a 4-1 first period. After Marylai.d opened second period scoring, Mike Cordrey gained Washington ' s second goal in an extra-m?n situation. The Terrapins got u back on a fastbreak goal, but then the Shore eleven began to build the momentum they needed on goals by Mangels and Cheek to close at halftime to 74.
