Dr. Lloyd H. Loftin President of Casper College 1979-1988 In Memory Of Dr. Tilghman H. Aley President of Casper College 1961-1979 Died 1983 �anachronism—“anything incongruous in point of time with its surroundings” We, as Americans, are ruled by extravagant expectations of what the world holds and of our power to shape the world. We expect anything and everything. We expect the contradictory and the impossible. We expect to be rich and charitable, powerful and merciful, active and reflective, kind and competitive. We expect to eat and stay thin, to be constantly on the move and ever more neighborly, to go to a “church of our choice” and yet feel its guiding power over us, to revere God and to be God. Daniel Boorstin The Image In individual lives, there comes a stage when a person has to recognize that death is indeed an undeniable fact, and that not everything is possible. To believe otherwise is the mark of the adolescent. To persist in that belief in adulthood is a sign of psychopathology. Sooner or later individuals adjust to the reality of their limitations. They learn to choose. Nations, like individuals, that do not learn to accept their limitations, or to choose, are dangerous to themselves and, especially if they are as powerful as the United States, to others.
