year-long career as editor of The Battalion.
. This wear ha;; seen The Battalion emerge
iijito daiw publication. {This has meant more
news, m|>re opportunities for people to work
bn the paper, and a better coverage of news.
We have been fir from perfect in.,this our

conclusion that maybe the days of 1939 were
i ot the millenium after all.
I ! like to look into the future and think
cf as it will be 10, 25, and even 50
\eai’3 from now, I like to think of it as an
institution that needs bow its head to no
either school of higher learning. 1 like to
ink of it as possessing a completely demo
crat^ student body in which the only thing
tiat determines a $tudent’.4 rating is the
quality of his'mind. ■ T
I like to think of it as an institution-in
v'hich civic and social responsibilities are
1 faced first. We acknowledge the need for
military training but also think that train-
i-ig for peaceful pursuits is far more impor-
tunt. We have always maintained that edu
cation and scholarship should come first in
a college, with all other things being secon
dary. j
We still maintain it! ■ i.
