Temple University will celebrate its 75th anniversary on May 14. 1963. Also in May, the 1963 Templar will reach the final stages of publication. This is much more than coincid- ence. For the University, it is a time for review- ing historical beginnings and accomplishments of a three-quarter century period. For the TEM- PLAR, it is a continuation of the chronicle or history of one class, the last, in that span of time. In a sense, the TEMPLAR is a combina- tion of history and prospectus. Not only does it speak of people and the events they created, but it also describes the character and intensity of their desires for accomplishment in all areas to which education addresses its chief efforts. In this book is recorded, as well as it can be done, the 1963 estimate of the intellectual and physical resources of the University — the kinds of group activity which inspired, amused, and entertained her members, and the. estimated future prospects for each student. The next important anniversary will be in 1988. It will be the 100th. Many of you will be doing then for yourselves and your university what we are doing now — measuring the achieve- ments of the 25 and 100-year period. So im- pressive is the record of these four years, that I predict a substantial and solid success in areas of usefulness to humankind for you and your university. Deliberate, concentrated effort is reflected in his work. Leads Temple onward A ' sweeter ' moment cannot be remembered. 19
