Our President Dr. Ernest N. Patty President of the University from the President: Dr. Patty has been President of the Uni- versity since 1953; his association with the U. of A. dates back to 1922, however, when, as a recent graduate of the University of Washington, he joined the faculty as Profes- sor of Geology and Mining. From 1925 to 1935, Dr. Patty was Dean of the College, and head of the School of Mines. Between 1935 and 1953, Dr. Patty was president and general manager of a number of gold mining corporations located in Alas- ka and the Yukon Territory. Dr. Patty holds the following degrees; B.S., Univ. of Wash., 1919; E.M., Univ. of Wash., 1929; D.E., Univ. of Alaska, 1953. During Dr. Patty ' s administration, the Uni- versity has experienced record growth, both of physical plant and of enrollment. Years ago, it was assumed that the advantages of a University accrued solely to the individual student. The modern concept is that society also gains by having more trained and disciplined minds for the World ' s work. Each year the people of Alaska invest large sums of money in their University. Is this a good for our state and our nation, or it is not? The product of the University is people— young people. This is the most priceless product imaginable. The administration, the faculty and the students of the Uni- versity of Alaska have accepted a moral obligation to make this investment pay off. Already the State of Alaska has a student portfolio containing several thousand names. I believe this is a sound portfolio. I believe there are many young men and women on campus today who will give a fabulous return on this investment; others will yield a sound and steady return and I do not believe there is a single student who will be written off as a bad investment. The University of Alaska is proud of you. It gives me, your President, a feeling of pride to have a small part in developing this fine product. SO
