FOREWORD In this era when the human attempt to dominate the physical universe has accentuated the attempt to subdue men ' s minds, the word education often has been prostituted to mean indoctrination . Not only has interna- tional communism sought to dominate men ' s entelechy to a degree unknown by previous generations, but also, unusual domestic conditions have created a more impersonal society. Not only has political thought expanded its organic scope, but also in areas of business, religion, and even social and family affairs, one is con- fronted with intensification, stratification, and centralization. Increasingly individuality, spontaneity, creativity, and personal contemplation have succumbed to regimented, planned ideas. To consider the position of our staff as a minute and seemingly insignificant illustration, we have observed that the Calyx has fallen into such a pattern of late. We feel that, as the liberal arts college represents a bastion where indi- vidual growth and personal development may be attained, the Calyx has been unsymbolic of the opportunities that education offers toward creative- ness and individual pursuit. In order to better captivate the college ideals of individuality through endeavor and enlightenment, we have attempted to incorporate an individuality of our own into the 1965 Calyx, by divorcing ourselves from past patterns and stereotyped ideas, trying to offer a more up to date portrayal of the college experience .
