..: I it m x .,.-f In the four years that have elapsed since September, 1957, Newark State College has grown and expanded in many directions. lts physical growth is obvious to the most casual observer, to one who studies the changes in the curricula, the intellectual progress of the college is equal- ly obvious. There is a long distance, in time and achievement, between the col- lege of today and those bleak days early in the fifties when it looked as if Newark State would soon cease to exist. That we are where we are today is primarily the result of the drive and determination of one man: Eugene G. Wilkins. lt is with great pride that we dedicate the 1961 MEMORABILIA to the president of Newark State College. Aside from saving Newark State when it was destined to be eliminated from the state college system, Dr. Wilkins has been a motivating factor in the establishment of the new cur- ricula and the renaissance ot the industrial and fine arts curriculum. Through his eleven years as president, he has never faltered in his drive to make Newark State known and respected throughout New Jersey. The Middle States Accreditation, the Math, Science, Social Studies and English curricula, the move to a new campus: all stand as silent testaments to the high dedication of this man. ln appreciation for all he has done and continues to do for Newark State College, we take pleasure in dedicating the 1961 MEMORABILIA to Dr. Eugene Wilkins.
