fltU President Hurst R. Anderson The President in his office. In its own name an annual marks the pas- sage of a year. The 1959 TALON marks a year of progress for The American University. Every day we are conscious of this when we view the building of the ne v dormitory, consider the plans for future buildings, and review our continuing growth as represented in an expanded curriculum and a constantly increasing faculty and student body. Vhile the University is building for the future, and while all of us are aware of the physical development of our facilities now and planned for the future, still, the real concern of trustees and faculty is the c}uality of the educational experience for each student. The goal of any institution of higher educa- tion is to develop the God-given potentiality of the student to his best advantage, to the enrich- ment of his life and the greater good of his country. The success of an educational institu- tion is the success of its individual graduates. Their contributions to their country and their professions, the culture and religious interests which they carry ' ith them into their adult life, are the standards by vhich they are measured and which A ' e hope we have helped them to acquire. The source of our greatest pride is our students, for in them we see our future greatness. Thus, the progress of the University Avhich we mark in this year of 1959 is also your progress, in which we all rejoice. Hurst R.
