y fs! EUGENE G. WILKINS President A.B., North Texas State College, Denton, Texas, M.A., ,Teachers College, Columbia University, Ph.D., Columbia University. TO THE CLASS OF 1961: The class of 1961 is the first complete graduating class we have had in four years in that it contains representatives of industrial arts and fine arts curricula, curricula which were deleted from our college four years ago. Although the college did not have graduates in these curricula, your class was never without fine arts and industrial arts students as the year you registered as freshmen it was decided to continue the industrial arts and fine arts at Newark State College. Your class has also been broadened to include the first graduates in the social science and the mathematics curricula, making your class representative of your alma mater with a wide spread of curricula which will exemplify future classes to be grad- uated from the college. Your class is not only the forerunner of a new era, but also one which closes an era of more than TOO years of the college history in the City of Newark. You are the last class that was enrolled as freshmen in the old building in Newark. Your class, as freshmen, experienced the thrilling exodus from Newark to the new campus. May this pioneer experience you have had as college students be an example for careers of daring experi- mentation and final success. Sincerely yours, EUGENE G. WILKINS' President

Where there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing, much writing, many opinions, for opinion in good men is but knowledge in the making. -John Milton To the administration of Newark State College must go a major portion of the credit for the intellectual and physical growth of this institution. Through their foresight and interest in the college community, they have made it possible for new subiects to be introduced, new buildings to be planned and executed, and a new spirit to be instilled in the students of the college. The members -of the faculty, at the same time, are responsible to a great extent for the intellectual growth of the individual. Through their interest in the student as an individual and in the progress he makes in the development of his mind, they have fostered and nourished personal in- tellectual honesty, and thus have contributed to the success of our education.
