Don't Let It Throw You
One weekend! A preview of onr future. Nmv we’ll know what
college life is—it’s enough to keep us thinking this summer.
Everything is quite strange and everyone seems much older,
jet the friendly atmosphere and welcoming attitude of the col
Ige students invites us to become a part of the college life.
This visitation, a step toward high school graduation, is also
a step towards our future and part of our education. It gives
us a taste of what higher learning involves, the social life and
the studies. We are meeting people who are taking advantage
of this education and finding that they too are human and
were, not too long ago, visiting seniors from high school.
It’s a temptation to walk around with our mouths open with
an obvious look of greeness while watching the students who
seem perfectly at ease. They in turn are having fun watching
us. With luck and determination and work we will be in their
place next year. Right now we can just relax, keeping our eyes
and ears open, and take advantage of the many activities the
University is offering for our benefit.

This College Life
We won’t attempt to follow the conventional “Welcome to
the . . -” style, and we won't employ the flowery language that
such eulogies demand.
We'll simply sav, “Glad to have you with us for the week
end.”
The schedule tells us that you’ll be well versed in the so
cial activities of the campus before you head back home. So
we won’t bother to enlarge on that category. Besides that,
we don’t want you thinking that most of our work down here
is play.
As far as we're concerned, the four years at college are easy
to think of as “the best”—so much to do, so many people to
meet and so much to learn.
But don’t be fooled (or, more likely, disappointed) by the
illusion of one big continual good time, if that is your impres
sion of us. This is no four-year vacation. The people who come
down here thinking that are in for a surprise.
But, after all, we don’t think that’s what you’re looking for.
Reduced to its simplest terms, you’re looking over an invest
ment right now. You want to know if the University of Ore
gon is the best place to “buy” knowledge. You want the most
for your money; who doesn’t?
Will you get what you want here? It will, naturally, depend
on your determination, your power to dig in and hold the line
against the temptation to “do it some other time.”
The University’s part is to have the raw material here for
you to work with—the instructors, the facilities and the at
mosphere. And if you don’t feel that you’ve seen quite enough
yet to know just how good this part is, let us help you out.
We re pretty proud of this institution. We can’t alwavs stand
up and boast about our teams; we can’t say that we’re attend
mg the best university in the world. But it’s a darn good one.
And it will be able to take you just as far along the road of edu
cation as you ask it to.
