KAPPA OMICRON PHI FOREWORD

One of the purposes of "Academic Achievement Week is to encourage faculty and students to join in an effort to characterize Prairie View as a "Community of

Scholars." These scholars must be as much concerned with creative as with intel­ lectual prowess, and with their interrelations. While being academically intel­ lectual, we must make sure that both are a central concern to us. "Knowledge," says Bacon, "is power;" but mere knowledge is not power—it is only a possibility.

Action is power, and its highest manifestation is when it is directed by knowledge.

Scholars must learn the methods which make cultural "originals" rather than those which make only cultural "reproductions." Thus, the administration, faculty, honor societies, honorees, and the entire Prairie View student body are charged with the responsibility of concentrating their efforts in developing an awareness of the value of creative scholarship.

ALMA MATER-"Dear Prairie View"

Dear Prairie View, our song to thee we raise, In gratitude we sing our hymn of praise, For mem'ries dear, for friends and recollections, For lessons learned while here we've lived with thee. For these we pledge our hearts full of devotion, To serve thee now, and through eternity.

As days go by, our hearts will not grow cold, We'll love thy purple royal and thy gold, We'll through our lives exemplify thy teachings, We'll always strive a blessing to be. Thy children we our love and pride confessing, We'll love thee now, and through eternity.

Words by O. Anderson Fuller Music from "Finlandia" by Sibelius
