University Amidst the flux and flow of man and time has evolved one concept which is the embodiment of man's goal-Universality-universal comprehension. The University Cornm.un.ity is the institutionalization of four, man's the Q search' for universality, using as its means Instruction, Research, and Extension. . In the beginning the condition of fledgling man was one of chaos and mystery, bewildered by the ever present realities of his hostile environment. Cold and hungry, man soon turned to his wits for his sustenance and the search for knowledge began. For a time the external world was the object of this search, the world of earth, air, fire, and water. As soon as this world was largely conquered, the quest turned toward man himself-the last and greatest mystery. From that time rnan has sought an understanding , of the whole universe-man and his environment. Thus rnan's ideal became universality-universal comprehension. Universality has not been an empty goal, those following its lure have produced the means for its attainment, the University Community. Composed of people interacting with knowledge, the university community seeks universality through integration of a threefold approach: Instruction, Research, and Extension. I nstruction--the imparting of existing knowledge, Research, the discovery of new knowledge, and Extension, the diffusion of knowledge to the community at large. The community at large recognized Auburn's attainment of University status in .1960 as the State legislature changed our name to AUBURN , U NI VERSI TY. This nominal change is but a reyiection of real progress, made possible by Auburn's organization into the co-ordinated areas of Instruction, Research, and Extension. There has been much growth at Auburn University this year, both in quantity and quality. Our goal is to tell the story of that growth, examining each aspect in pictures and words, not leaving in our wake a mass of separate entities, but rather, leaving the unity of total perspective, depicting the year of Aub-urn.
