Th . . iii! lea as Y hwkf.. The Fifty-First Ubelisk Another year has arrived for Southern Illinois University, a year culminating all other years before. And vet, this year has its degree of uniqueness, something both tan- gible and intangible which differentiates it from all of those preceding years. New buildings rise against the campus skyline at an ever increasing pace. but as they pass from the construction stages they take their place among Southern's other, older halls of learning, thus reserving their place in Southern's historical evolution. The faces are new and the names are different but the quest for education con- tinues as it has since the inception of formal learning. Witli each ensueing year Southern's vast machinery be- comes more complex and her policies are ever changing although the administration of these policies and the human element necessary to run the machinery is still geared to the individual and to the learning process. And so it is, this year. that we present our University and all of its unique aspects, new buildings, 11ew ideas, ever lnindful of the happenings of the year that we are living and all that has gone before. To the degree that our forebearers have prepared the way we are indebted to them. But what we do today will determine all of our tomorrows, and for future successes and our failures we must lay credit only to ourselves. 21
