Morris, a Southern Illinois native, became President of Southern Illinois University in August, 1948. Since that time, Southern has grown faster than any uni- versity in the country. It has skyrocketed from a small institution for teacher training into one of the nationis most diversified educational centers. Quoting President Morris, XVe are not interested in imitating other schools or duplicating measures that brought them heavy en- rollments and established reputations. Our primary con- cern is for the future of Southern Illinois which we feel a fundamental duty to serve. SIU Will not become an ivory tower, a thing apart from the peoplef' Presidenz' and M rs.

In eHect, Grinnell is in charge of day- to-day operations on the main university campus while the Presidentis Office devotes more attention to planning for the future and to a constant review of existing programs on all campuses. During past summer sessions he has taught at the Universities of Colorado and Texas, and has traveled and studied exten- sively in Scandinavia, Switzerland, France, and England. Construction on the new Vice Presidentis Office, located adjacent to the Morris Library parking lot, exemplifies Southernis recent tremendous emphasis on the expansion of physical facilities in order that students may better be served. The vice presidents formerly had office space in the Presidentis Office. As the Uni- versity expanded in student enrollment, the vice presidents' duties increased as did their need for bigger and more integrated offices. The offices were tem- porarily located in the Home Economics Building until April 1961. x N x KR x . , 'X ' . pp! N. xxx 1 XXXN sk. , A .l ,l V .b K Xl .xx , li 1 ff...,. .,- ' if-ifflr..
