X' Vice President Robert E. Kennedy has been with the Cal Poly family for twenty years taking care of his duties faithfully and efficiently. Guiding Lights Cf the Kellogg And San Luis Obispo Campuses Harold O. Wilson Dean of Educational Services The rapid growth experienced by Cal Poly in the last few years is not the result of chance. lt has taken the leadership of men with experience and foresight. The three men pictured on this page have been with Cal Poly through its rapid expansion program and have added more than their share of ideas and suggestions. With men of the caliber of Vice President Robert Kennedy, Dean Harold Wilson and Dean George Clucas in Cal Poly's administration, the students are as- sured of proper guidance and contin- ued growth in an already fine school.

Building bigger and better is indeed an appropriate theme for the 1961 yearbook for the Kellogg Campus. To determine iust how fitting is this theme one needs only to glance through a copy of Madre Tierra for 1957, iust four short years ago, and compare what he finds in it with the picture of the college portrayed in this yearbook for 1961. ln the 1957 yearbook, the Science Building, which had been occupied in the fall of 1956, is the only instructional facility mentioned. The reader finds mention of only two instructional divisions - the Agriculture and the Arts and Science Divisions. The book portrays the life of a campus on which there are 506 students and 40 faculty members. The campus pictured in Madre Tierra 1961, is in sharp contrast. For the Kellogg Campus's many buildings, the state has appropriated almost S21,000,000. The student body exceeds 2,200 and the faculty numbers 150 instructors. The facts are clear. Cal Poly is building bigger and better. Whether it is building better is a matter harder to evaluate. The answer depends in great part on many of the readers of these lines - students, faculty, and staff. When they strive to do their iobs better, Cal Poly builds better. ls Cal Poly building better? The answer is yours to write. Ol Julian A. McPhee President

This year we have once again witnessed tremendous growth on the Kellog-Voor- his Campus-not only in the building program and student enrollment, but the stu- dent body has made great strides in its area of operation. The student leaders have displayed enthusiasm, maturity, and outstanding qualities of leadership in helping to build a bigger and better Cal Poly. Time and again the students have faced challenges with confidence, met crises with resolves, and solved problems with de- termination. This is not that the iob is done. For as the college grows, and as the students grow after leaving their college life, there will still be challenges to face, crises to meet, and problems to solve. But, after all, one of the basic purposes of education is to prepare individuals to serve as good citizens in the community where they live. lf we can all work toward this goal, then we will meet with success, and will grow bigger and better. To those who are graduating this year, I extend my congratulations and best wishes for continued success. To the freshmen, sophomores, and iuniors who will be back, my best wishes for a good summer and I am looking forward to seeing you in September. CW C. O. McCorkle Dean of the College
