Above, Erika Salloch, German do think that a person able to think in many different modes ... is just better able to cope with whatever he is called upon to do. You are certainly going to lead a happier life if you enjoy books, music, museums, and travel for the culture it offers rather than the beautiful scenery. I would like to see a less homogeneous student body. 1 pre- fer greater variety of student social backgrounds, say from the middle and lower classes . . . those who have pulled themselves up by their boot straps ... I think that we have too, too many mid- dle class kids here .... I believe that no teacher can teach you any thing; a teacher can only be a kind of roadmap to show you how to get there. There have to be some changes. 1 would like to see a college where intellectual achievement is cherished by the student body rather than just the faculty of the college.

The faculty is ambitious for students to do well .... I ' m impressed with what Washington College has to offer the serious student. I think that ' s the advantage, and that the size of the college is a part of that. Students can be part of an intellectual community if they wish. t 19

There are a lot of advantages to Washington College .... its one of a kind on the Eastern shore. More and more we are becoming aware of the unique qualities that Washington Col- lege offers in this particular area. It ' s so close to the major metropolitan areas . . . but yet 1 think coming back from these places, I am grateful that this is where 1 live, because 1 think 1 can carry on the kind of activities that 1 carry on. We have the accessability, but we also have the idealic setting. It ' s inspiring to me, to be close to the country .... Students are much more concerned about their moneymaking capacity when they leave school, and to me that is a very hard, cold fact to keep in front of you when you ' re in your college years. I think it should be the most idealistic time of your life. To choose a major according to potential salary I consider tragic.
