Creative imagination has been defined as "the thinking of the heart as well as of the head." "EYES" AND "NO-EYES" Says Professor Scripture, "Eyes and No-Eyes journeyed together. No-Eyes saw only what thrust itself upon him. Eyes was on the watch for everything." So we urge our students to travel with Eyes. In such association you will find an ever growing picture of life.
