We hope that it will serve through­ out the year as point of reference for the many questions that arise concerning various campus organizations, their officers; the academic, social, and athletic calendars; the College Regulations; the Fraternity Rushing Rules; and the Constitution of the Senate. A directory of officers of the clubs and organizations has been inserted in the back of the H andbook. It is alphabetized according to the ti tle of the club or group. not according to the officer's name. To the Freshman Class It is a privilege to welcome you to Trinity College. I hope sincerely that your years '"Neath the Elms" will mean much to you. It is our dedicated purpose to see that they do. Our curriculum and the life at the Coll ege have been carefully planned to provide you with the finest training and education. Trinity, as a Christian co ll ege, is concerned, not with mass production, but with the unique potentialities of each individual. No new truth was ever discovered by the automatic repetition of o ld patterns. A Christian college has an obligation to encourage variety and to nourish individual talent, for it sees every student as a unique creation of God. You alone, however, can determine how meaningful will be your years at Trinity. You will learn that real values in life are gained only following hard and serious work. I urge that you devote your best efforts to your class work; that you take an active part in the extracurricular activities which are described in this book­ let. In this way you will become an integral part of Trinity College. We proudly welcome your class. We have high expectations for you. Live up to them. To each and every one of you I extend my best wishes for good luck and success. ALBERT C. JACOBS, President. On behalf of the Committee on Admissions may I extend you a warm welcome to Trinity College. In the early weeks of your freshman year you will be confronted with wholl) different situations and you will experience entirely new adjustments. It is our sincerest hope, though, that above all else you develop the full awareness of your purpose for being here. A liberal education, which Trinity will help you to achieve, will fit you for meeting the broad spectrum of responsibilities in a life's experience, and we urge you to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the College to achieve the worthy goals you have set for yourself. In selecting you for admission as a Freshman, the College has had to deny many young men the chance of becoming members of the Trinity family. Since it is a privil ege to have won your places in the class, it is well to remember that you have a real responsibility to your former schools, to your fami lies, and most of all to your­ selves- a responsibility to accomplish a level of work which is commensurate with your abilities and to putake actively in the life of the College to further its success. We desire to be of service to you in your freshman year, and if you fee l we can assist you, we hope you will not hesitate to come to our office to discuss your work or any problems you fa ce.
