DEDICATION We, the class of 1959, take great pleasure in dedicating our yearbook to a man who is well known to all of us. This man, who is now retired from col- lege administration, had never failed to aid us during the ever-hectic registration per- iods that came with the opening of every semester. This man is among the very few, whose name, when it is mentioned by students, is spoken with sincere respect and admiration. He completed his own college studies in 1926 at Iowa State College, where he re- ceived his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. He was both Dean of Administration and Registrar at URI. Yes, this book is dedicated to Dr. John C. Weldin, who will always be remembered as Dean Weldin. Who can forget the words of the advice, the orders, the directions of those who said, “Go see Dean Weldin.” We consider it our priviledge and good fortune to have known him.

Four scant years ago President Woodward welcomed the class of 1959 in the new Keaney Gym as the finest and largest group ever to attend our University. For three years your College activities were under his guidance, and in your last year you were privileged to be under the jurisdiction of President Horn. You are therefore the first class in almost eighteen years to be endowed with the leadership of two capable administrators representing over a half century of educational experience. As Freshmen, you were conditioned by your secondary school experience. Higher education appeared awesome and to some, impossible, but to those of you who have weathered the intellectual storm are seasoned candidates at the portals of success. The door is open wide — you must enter with a firm step, head held high — for you have the encouragement and resource of the entire University. Your tools shall be Knowledge and Skill, integrated with a reverence for Truth. Think for a moment of the painting of Plato’s allegory of the cave, describ- ing as it does the plight of a company of men bound by massive chains of ignor- ance, prejudice, shallow perception and drugged dogma, staring at their shadows on the wall. Education will break the chain and awaken the soul of man and have him face the light of living truth. You must turn and face the light and let Truth be the symbol of total fitness; the mental, physical, emotional and social qualities that result in “mens sana in capore sano” a sound mind in a sound body. Carl V. Slader CLASS ADVISOR 9
