gi . ,, xx ,K it I in V O K Academics Academics, the core of college life, provides the mental stimulus in Easternls educational process. Here, three colleges-Business, Education, and the Arts and Sciences-cooperate with special- ized programs in molding educated and well- rounded young men and women. While Eastern has long had national fame for its teacher-training program, it has only recent- ly earned a reputation as a strong liberal arts institution. Although Eastern is now in a period of tran- sition and suffers from the growing pains of an expanded enrollment, our students' academic education has not been allowed to suffer and every Eastern graduate emerges with a fund of knowledge about his chosen field. Throughout his busy day, our EMU student traverses the campus from Welch to Strong, from Sherzer to Pierce, from Ford to Quirk as he seeks out his education. At Eastern, as in every college and university, the student is in a period of transition-a tran- sition from childhood to adulthood-and it is his academic education that plays such an impor- tant role in smoothing the path of this transition.

Dr. Harold E. Sponberg amed to Replace President Elliott Dr. Harold E. Sponberg, recently named to replace Eugene B. Elliott, as President of Eastern Michigan University will assume his new office on July 1, 1965. Sponberg, a native of Milwaukee, comes to Eastern from Topeka, Kansas where he has been President of Washburn University since 1961. After obtaining his A.B. from Gustavus Adolphus College and his M.A. from the Uni- versity of Minnesota, Sponberg attended Michigan State University where he obtained his Ph.D. and served in professional admini- strative capacities. Between 1956-61, he was Vice-President of Northern Michigan State University, Mar- quette, Michigan. During World War II he served as an offi- cer in the U. S. Navy Submarine forces. The students of E.M.U. extend our unoffi- cial welcome to Dr. Sponberg and his family and look forward to his arrival.
