THROUGH A WINDOW

Page 7 text:

UNIVERSITY The campus of West Virginia University is a window facing a universe of knowledge and experience. By its shining panes pass all varieties of people, information, and ideas from which we students select our friends, our future occupations, and our beliefs and stand- ards. Through the window of college life we catch an insight into the numerous realms of wisdom and achievement and a glimpse of truth which contains a shimmering reflection of ourselves. As scholars we have seen those who work hard succeed and those who lack perseverance and vision fail miserably; we have been exposed to disappointment and reward, joy and sorrow, hope and despair. In short, samples of life ' s most valuable lessons have paraded before us that we might select the building blocks for our future. Soon the glass will be broken, and we will step into a vast new world of conflict and challenge, relying on our four years of learn- ing and experience for the fashioning of a prosperous, satisfying life. Today and in the years to come, may the 1963 MONTICOLA serve as a window through which we may once again see and recapture our objective views of problems, our youthful ideals, our high as- pirations. In its pages, the friendships, the fraternities and clubs, and good times will ever remain alive to awaken the true values which we discovered and molded during our years on the campus of West Virginia Uni- versity. f Ik
