T tif-HgAV4.R V ARWOO K»QF»Ttig ' O RfrTQN! MAI lXJLLtOfc President ' s Message ' HE purpose of the College is threefold: To acquaint its students with the principles and methods of science that will enable them to become economically independent through control of the natural and industrial forces around them; to imbue them, through famili- arity with the enduring sources of learning and culture by which mankind has climbed from savagery to civilization, with an inquiring spirit and a congenial sense of being at home as a citizen of an aspiring world; and to establish in terms of habit such ideals of industry, honor, and service as will prove, through life, a touchstone of achievement and character. The College is widely recognized for its constructive work in applying science to industry. Through vears of devoted service on the part of its staff, it has succeeded in building up an organization for conserving and developing the natural resources and productive enterprises of the state. The careers of its graduates and former students, moreover, more than half of whom have been out of college only eight vears or less, are convincing evidence that the training they received is vocationally effective. The great majority of them have made substantial progress in the fields for which they trained, and many have already attained distinction. But the College, while primarily vocational and technical, includes in its curricula not only the practical training that helps its graduates to make a living, but such additional and liberal training as helps them also to make that living abundant, purposeful and significant. Hence the thorough train- ing in all the basic arts and sciences, and in English, modern languages, history, government, econom- ics, physical education and music. Thus the College meets the modern obligation of a state institution of higher learning by providing for the student, and the constituency he represents, specialized scientific service. It fulfills also the age-old obligation of giving him such breadth of training as will free his mind, unrestricted by preju- dice or ignorance, to range with confidence among the problems that confront the industries and pro- fessions of today. Finally, through a faculty of highly trained specialists, animated by a spirit of service as well as of research, and holding themselves true friends and companions of the students, it offers that most priceless opportunity of a higher education — bringing the student and the teacher into intellectual and spiritual partnership. tf ' » Dr. V.
