The graduating class of 1967, having completed requirements for a number of different degrees at the University of Mis- ouri at Kansas City, is part of a growing tream of students seeking to expand their ntellectual horizons and powers through fiigher education. This University, located in the heart of the Kansas City metropolitan rea, feels a great sense of responsibility or providing educational opportunities which are both varied in content and objec- tive and rich in their qualitative aspects. The members of the faculty and the administra- tion share a common concern for continually improving the environment for learning on this campus, an objective not easily attained in the face of a rapidly growing student body and a rapidly changing world in which graduates will live and make a living. Nonetheless, while striving to give each one of the students in this class of 1967 as personalized an opportunity for education as possible, we are continuing to search out ways and means of treating each student as an individual to increase his chance of hav- ing intellectual encounter with professor and student alike, to sharpen his mind through rational discussion and debate, to become aware of wisdom and knowledge in- herited from the past, and to learn the art and the science of developing new under- standing through experience and observa- tion, looking to the world of the future. The University of Missouri at Kansas City is entering its fifth year as one of the four campuses of the statewide University of Missouri System. Together with the other campuses, we are endeavoring to provide an increasing spectrum of educational op- portunities leading to degrees or for studies continuing beyond a degree for an increas- ing fraction of an increasing number of Mis- souri citizens. Many of you who graduate this year will, we trust and we hope, continue with an educational plan of your own, taking full advantage of the opportunities that U.M.K.C. and other institutions will make available to you.
