Through the courtesy of the Illio I am pleased to extend greetings to Illini everywhere. As we move into the second half of the century, we may regard the Uni- versity of Illinois as Hrmly established among the leading institutions of higher education in the United States. IVe are indeed big-bigger than ever before on the Champaign-Urbana campus, with a total registration of 19,5 00. Since a total of 20,000 students in full-time residence on this campus approaches a saturation point, it is clear that further expansion can take place only through major additions to the physical plant or through the establishment of a permanent branch. Such a branch, if es- tablished, would undoubtedly be in Chicago. The professional colleges of the University of Chicago enroll over 1,500 stu- dents in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and the graduate curriculum. In cooperation with the Cook County School of Nursing, the University for the first time in its history is offering a full curriculum in nursing education. The registration at the Chicago Undergraduate Division CNavy Pierj is nearly 4,0003 while this may not be regarded as a permanent installation, it is clearly to be one of long standing. It meets a steady demand for public collegiate in- struction in the Chicago area. Nevertheless, bigness, branching and comprehensiveness are not the source of distinction in the University. IVhat we are especially proud of-and we believe that all alumni will share this view-is the steady enrichment of instruc- tion, research and public service. Through extraordinary leadership in the Board of Trustees, backed by generous support in the General Assembly and the State Administration, we have been able to secure clusters of promising teachers and scholars. A new team is being formed and its productivity along a Wide cultural front is already evident. Students coming to the University of Illinois in almost any major Held will discover opportunities for learning and professional growth that traditionally have been restricted to only a few of our oldest American universities. Younger than most state universities, the University of Illinois nevertheless cannot be regarded as immature. The foundations are being laid now for a full fruition of its educational growth and achievement by the end of its first cen- tury in the late 1960's. May you all be on hand to celebrate that occasion! As we contemplate the race between education and catastrophe, time is run- ning short. If nations are to learn to live together in peace, the learning must come soon. Perhaps the chief hope is not in foreign oflices but in the great cen- ters of learning. Geoxge D. Stoddard Preiidull
