DR NORMAN N WEISENFLUH President To the Class of 1963: I congratulate you on being the first class to graduate from Slippery Rock State College as a multi-purpose institution and as a college offering an accredited graduate program. It marks the first time since the College was founded as a Normal School in 1889 that curriculum offerings were not restricted to students preparing for the teaching profession. It also marks the first time that courses will be offered beyond the bachelor’s degree level. We believe that the preparation you have received at Slippery Rock will enable you to become a successful member of a profession characterized by idealism and service to children and youth. Kindness, tolerance, enthusiasm, patience, and understanding are values that will help you succeed in your chosen profession. Sincerely yours, Norman N. Weisenfluh President President of the College—East Stroudsburg Normal School; A.B., Dickinson College; M.A., University of Pennsylvania; Ph.D.. University of Pittsburgh.

IN MEMORIAM Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so: For those, whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow. Die not. poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be. Much pleasure, then from thee much more must flow; And soonest our best men with thee do go. Rest of their bones, and souls' delivery. —“Death, Be Not Proud John Donne 19
