portunity Awards

300 freshmen selected out of
some 2,600 applicants for the

Carl Sandburg wrote this and called it "God's
Opinion." "A baby is God's opinion that life should
go on. Never will a time come when the most
marvelous recent invention is as marvelous as a
newborn babv. The finest of our precision -
watches, the most supercolossal of our super-
cargo planes, don't compare with a newborn baby
in the number and ingenuity of coils and springs,
in th flow and change of chemical solutions, in
timing devices and interrelated parts that are
irreplaceable." And, it is my opinion that if a
newborn baby is wonderful and incredible, two
babies produced at the the same time must be
double incredible and wonderful.
