The President onto UNIVERSITY ATMCMS. OHIO GREETINGS TO THE 1937 ATHENA With nearly three thousand students and more then two hundred members of the faculty, Ohio University Is this year recording an all-time high both in the number of students enrolled and In the size of Its Instructional corps. Moreover, It Is operating for the first time on a truly university basis with Its University College, the Colleges of Arts and Solenoes, Education, Commerce, Applied Science, and Fine Arts, and the Graduate College. While these developments are evidence of a broader field of service and, therefore. Indicative of growth and progress, they do, of course, necessitate the encouragement of all Instrumentalities for helping to preserve the essential feel- ing of oneness. The Athena would seem to offer one of the best means of perpetuating this underlying unity. By listing and Inter- - preting to faculty and students alike the host of university activities in which both are interested, the Athena serves not merely as a record of events, but also as the pattern resulting from the oombination of all these individual threads. May the Athena continue to serve this useful function with increasing success as the growth of Ohio University makes this service progressively more important. lTW»-»«. 16 COLLEGE
