DEDICATION UKC'S FUTURE W0 towering lamps ot modern de- sign guard the entrance to the campus drive. Adjacent to the south lamp is an ivy-covered, pseudo-Gothic structure of traditional type. From the north lamp the campus slopes downward to meet the conventional university pond. Amid this setting of ancient architecture and shaded ter- rain the modernity of the lamps ap- pears strangely out of context when we consider it only in terms of the periods represented by the predomi- nant design of the University. But Certainly these two pieces of artistic sculpture serve more than a purely decorative purpose. These lamps are functional not only in their produc- tion of light, but likewise in their symbolic suggestion that the Univer- sity of Kansas City has not become - a kind of scholastic snail, withdraw- ing into a shell of static isolation, but rather that she continually looks ahead and prepares herself for a brighter, more illuminating and prom- ising future. Her future is, in fact, no longer simply an abstract idea. During the past nine months our at- tention has been continually focused on the progres- sion in the construction of the long awaited Student Center-this building itself, even as the lamps, be- coming a symbolic sign-post heralding the gradual development of the University of Kansas City into a major American university. And yet, our speculations cannot confine them- selves to the future alone, for the future is neces- sarily dependent upon the past and the present. The difficulties of UKC9s history--including economic limitations, political schisms, and unwarranted criti- cism-should not be minimized, for in a consider- ation of them we recognize more completely the achievements of the University. Only a few of the present teaching staff recall the early days of the school during which she struggled against depres- sion and disillusionment. Of these, Dr. Norman Moore, retiring assistant dean of the University Den- tal School and holder of the longest tenure among DR. NORMAN MOORE the faculty, retains a perspective unavailable to most of his contemporaries. He can recognize the diffi- culties of the past for essentially what they were- building blocks in the construction of a futurc?and at the same time can today foresee the fulfillment of that future. We shall be sorry at his departure, for his contributions to the development of the Uni- versity in general, and to students in particular, are certainly beyond calculation. The present, i.e., the 1959-60 year, has meant much in the continuing maturation of UKC. Proba- bly the most momentous step was the inclusion of the Kansas City Conservatory of Music as the seventh school in the University makeup. The year saw the gradual materialization of the Student Center, un- der the capable direction of Bob Handy. The March Leadership Retreat held in Excelsior Springs em- phasized the student backing and enthusiasm needed in the design of a major university. Numerous
