During the next decade the College anticipates an increas- ing diversification of its offerings and the addition of exciting new program on both the graduate and undergraduate levels in the arts and sciences, in the professions, and in research. To prepare for such growth and to provide facilities for the larger rtudenl population which will result, ten additions to the physical plant have been designed and are nearing ground- breaking ceremonies. Six other structures are in advanced planning itages, and more will follow. In addition to its purer) educational functions, Clarion State College has Keen playing a significant role as a service agency for this region by contributing to the planning for economic and social development of the area. Its faculty and its research organization provide studies, analyses, and recom- mendation to school district, governmental agencies, and in- dustrial and business enterprises. Increasingly, members of the college community are becoming active in the diverse affairs of the region. I think that all of us, students and faculty alike, can take pride in recent developments and can confidently look to the continued dynamic growth of Clarion State College as it strives to provide outstanding services for all. a 4 nX-

THE CLARION PLAN It is particularly appropriate that during 1967-1968, the Centennial year for Clarion State College, master ' s degree pro- grams are being offered for the first time and new under- graduate curricula in business administration, music education, and special education have been initiated. During the current year also, two major academic facilities have been completed: the science center-planetarium and the gymnasium-natatorium. As the College begins on its second century, such developments in programs and facilities are significant indicators of recent trends which will enable Clarion to provide increasingly greater service to the citizens of the Commonwealth.
