Social Sciences A moment in the sun, . . . the tangled shadows of a net, . . . two men fishing on a stony beach. Caught thus beneath the afternoon sky, they work in a simple harmony of movement, feeling the coarseness of raw hemp, the liquid heat of sun on bronzed flesh, the consciousness of each others presence. Here on the coast of Elat, one step of a universal dance, the dance of humanity, is being performed. The intricate patterns of that dance, however, reach out much further than this beach, than these people, — they spread to the narrow canyons of the city, to the mute world of a baby ' s eyes, to the saddened pomp of a funeral. There are men who have dedicated their lives to trace the patterns of this whirling, ceaseless dance, who have dedicated their minds to reveal order in chaos, to create eternal beauty out of a moment in the sun. If their ' s seems a hopeless task, let the greatness of their failure testify to the daring of their attempt, and let the extent of their success testify to the valiance of the human spirit. Dr. Nathan Goldberg, Associate Professor of Sociology Dr. Alexander Brody, Professor of History and Economics

We are the people of the book. Ours is a heritage of countless centuries, an immeasurable heritage of learning and wisdom. We are peo- ple fixed in the intricate web of the past, creating new traditions from the silk still contained in our core. We are the silk spinners and the myth makers. And it is the book, the accumulated lore of ages, that guides and directs us. Therefore, when the impulse to speak throbs within and our lips are filled with song, when the words come out clear and hard with quiet, in- tense beauty, thdn we must be gladdened at the miracle of language and pay our small tribute to the men who have taught us to cherish it. : Dr. Herman Wouk, Visiting Prof, of English.
