ou who know the University of 1958 will remember it in the future, perhaps, as it is now I will remember it this way, for this year as my relationship to the University is obout to change, It seems to me that I can see it more clearly than ever before Yet I also remember the University of other years I remember seeing, when I was very young, the original building on the old University grounds I remember the University before the First World War, when I was a student And I can recall the University of the years between then and now, when it was climbing toward the place it has come to occupy in the state and in education at large My life not only has been influenced by the University but has been built about it, and for this I am profoundly and continuingly grateful, I soy these things now, because, having reached a time when I can look back on almost half a century of university life, I know thot whot I value most has been the chance to en|oy the spirit and friendship of university students. The students of my own generation have grown older with me, yet it has been my privilege to know their sons and daughters and to see in the new generations the enlargement of the spirit that has marked the University through all these years You of 1958 are, to me, the best of the University of Washington, becouse you are, at once, the products of a well -remembered past and the promise of on even finer future You will find in this TYEE a new chapter of the living history of the University Treasure this record, for It will become more full of meaning with each new year. All of you have, now and in all the succeeding years, my thanks and my warmest good wishes Henry Schmitz President
