Dedication Auburn is saddeneddue to the realization that we are losing through retirement the distinguished leader of this institution, Dr. Ralph B. Draughon. President Drau2ghon's dedicated leadership has been especially eyfective in making Auburn a true university, by enlarging and perfecting its endeavors in I NST RU CT I ON , RESEARCH , and EXTENSION. There have been many accomplishments during Dr. Draughorfs administration. Auburnls total enrollment has increasednearly fifty percent, all programs leading to the doctorate and many new ones leading to the masters degree have been initiated, and the number' of teaching faculty members holding Ph.D.'s or other terminal degrees has increased from less than fifteen percent to more than forty percent. These achievements, along with the value of the physical plant doubling since 1957, have provided the opportunity for thousands more to partake of her bountiful storehouse of knowledge. This supply of knowledge ingreases daily as one fourth o f its expenditures are allocated for research. Dr. Draughon has been sensitive to all components of the universityg in turn many have responded with strength, demonstrating their dedication to Auburn. Thus, his untiring ejfort has resulted in the attainment of a goal which he has held before us-to make Auburn a UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY. His accomplishments leave to us a heritage and a challenge to continue in the upward climb of humanity. To this most remarkable man, we the students of Auburn University do humbly dedicate this, The 1965 GLOM ERA TA.

Extension H ow pleasantly warm are the beams and shafts of our sun, filtering through the treetops, casting shadows hither and yon, touching each little part of our world breathing into it, Life. For the influence of the sun is broad. From one fire ball ninety million miles distant extends in each direction the energy for all existence. Auburn University is a sun, in a sense, as its Extension is a broad invigorating force in the community at large. What is EXTENSION at Auburn? Transcending agricultural extension is Total Extension, the dijusion of all knowledge from its central core-the University. Extension in this broad sense is the Band or the Football team spreading the name ofthe uni-versity far and wide, attracting an old alumnus, who, ever giving of his time and effort, secures new capital for Auburn University. It is the well prepared graduate, who in his constant interaction. with the world about him, extends the importance and influence of his experience at Auburn U niversityg The humble freshman, awestruck, reporting the mystery of university life to his parents or his hometown friends 5 The lasting echo of a War Eagle , a parody of the spirit that is Auburn's, born of zeal and lust for lifeg The quiet, obscure scientist who has forced from the earth ' still another of her secrets in a lonesome laboratory, a secret which perhaps makes the earth Rower with the splendour of new growth. The bread of learning cast uponwthe waters does multiply arul flourish, as on Commencement Day hundreds of men and women go forth in all directions, with the impetus of University education as their driving forceto change the world. Extension is more than all else a measure of a university's greatn It is extension which justifies its existence. Whenever the products of a university such as a new architectural method, an engineering process, or an educational technique are applied to the world at large, progress results and the university process is complete. This is the uplifted goal, this is Extension at Auburn University.
