Excerpt from Record of the Hampden-Sydney Alumni Association, Vol. 47: Winter, 1971I am reminded of the words of Albert Camus: One goes through life with a few ideas that are one's own. Two or three. As one encounters other men and other realms they are polished and transformed. It takes ten years to have an idea that is really one's own - about which you can talk. After three years here I guess I have less than a of an idea. But I imagine after four years of liberal education most of us are humbly aware with Socrates that the recognition of ignorance is the beginning of wisdom. But through this process of polishing and transforming our ideas we have encountered each other. Sometimes we have encountered in con¿ict, sometimes in joy, but we have encountered and thus we have grown. I would express, then, our mutual gratitude to hampden-sydney College for providing this opportunity to encounter. It is an alive human institution and it is a thrill to be a part of it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
