The PRESIDENT Greetings and Salutations: To the thousands of students on the campus and in the Downtown College and School of Law, I extend cordial greetings and all best wishes for success in all your en- deavors. We are especially happy to have had approximately fifteen hundred returned veterans in our student body this year. At the commencement exercises last spring the University of Tulsa celebrated its Golden Anniversary with appropriate cere- monies. We were honored to have as one of our guest speakers, Dr. W. R. King, who founded the Henry Kendall College at Mus- kogee, Indian Territory in 1894. This Col- lege, of which he was also the second presi- dent, continues now as the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Tulsa. The University Trustees also commemor- ated this occasion by launching a five million dollar Golden Anniversary Expansion Pro- gram. To date, we have secured approxi- mately fifty per cent of this objective-suffi- cient for seven of the eleven proposed new buildings, plus approximately a quarter of a million dollars for the endowment fund. The Communications or Radio building is com- pleted and the Memorial Dormitory for men is under construction and will be ready for occupancy by September of this year. The other buildings for which we have funds will be constructed as soon as materials and labor are available. In the interval we have erected five temporary buildings to provide offices and classrooms for the increased faculty and student enrollment. I desire at this time to pay tribute to the good friends of the University who have so generously supported our expansion program. If space were available I would be glad to list the names of all. This I must forego, but the important gifts of the John Mabee Hall for Men and the Lottie Jane Mabee Hall for Women, costing one half million dollars, and the Eugene Lorton Hall, housing the college of Business Administration, are ex- amples of this generosity. The decade between 1945 and 1955, be- ing the sixth in the history of the University, will without question be its greatest from, the standpoints of achievement, gr6wth, pres- tige and stability. I congratulate you on being a vital part of this magnificent progress. May the years ahead bring increasing divi- dends of progress, satisfaction, happiness, and peace of mind to each of you who have had so large a part in the growth of the University of Tulsa. Cordially yours, DR. C. I. PONTIUS, Chairman, Board of Trustees, President of The Universityx of Tulsa
