STEVE FIELD Once again, following a trad- ition rejuvenated last year, the Engineering Society presents to you, a Yearbook. It is a portfolio of people and events - the non-academi c half of your University education. The Engineering Alumni, by far the most dynamic of all the Alumni associated with the University, not only maintained their excellent rapport with the entire Faculty, but have made special efforts to ensure the efficient operation of the Society. With advice, information and a variety of services, the Alumni certainly deserve our thanks and a great deal more credit than they actually receive for the work they do. Professors, associate professors, lecturers and demonstrators, as well as the members of the Faculty Office and tfe Dean ' s Office collectively have all maintained the high standard of educ- ation that has brought both esteem and respect to the Faculty. Dean Etkin, in his freshman year, has more than met the challenge of such a demanding position and, in my opinion, will lead the Faculty with the enthusiasm and professionalism so representative of the Deans of this Faculty. But the Faculty moves as a function of the work achieved within staf f student committees and although we do not have parity on these, we enjoy advantages But what about the students? Hesitant to get involved but certainly willing to take advantage of someone else ' s hard work. Ask yourself what you do with your spare time. Look through this Yearbook and see what has passed you by this year. Will it pass by you next year? Become an integral part of Skule - get involvedl It will certainly be a benefit to both your- self and the Society in years to come.

DEAN ETKIN Well, the Centennial Year is over, and it was a good year to be at Skule. Not only was it replete with the usual package of ' goodies ' produced by student ef forts--f rom Oktoberfest in the autumn to the Grad Ball in the spring--but there were the special events--Open House, Centennial 1 ectu res-- that added so much to the quality of life at Skule in 73 7 . To top it all off, it looks 1 i ke a good year for jobs too, in spite of (or maybe because of?) the energy problem. For those of you who are graduating, the four years on which you can look back are among the most momentous that Skule has ever had. Not only did they embrace the once- i n-a-hundred years centennial, but also the change to the term system with its new concepts of evaluation and promotion, the changes in the governing system of the Faculty (council and committees) and of the University itself. For the first time in the history of the U.of T. , students and alumni were formally added to the Council of the Faculty, and staff and students were placed on the Governing Council of the University. The closing years of our first century have indeed been years of great rate of change, not only for Skule, but for technology (pocket electronic calculators were unknown when you became freshmen) and for society at large. Both as an individual and as a collective man has always needed to meet the challenges presented by changing personal and societal environments. You, perhaps more than any previous graduates, will have to have the the capacity to confront and surmount these challenges, to accept rapid change as part of the natural order. I wish you well in your first job and in those that follow, and in all else that you may undertake.
