INS RESEAR wide-eyed freshmen who in successive years have emerged from that same shadow as mature individuals eager to find expression for their potential. Our ten schools arc collectively the core of A.P.I. Each continues to better the facilities for its students, and, as a result, makes the whole stronger. Whether pursuing the curriculum of Architecture, Agriculture, Home Economics. Veterinary Medicine, Education, Engineering, Science and Literature, Pharmacy, Chemistry, or the Graduate School, each student becomes an integral part of the scene of Auburn. That many have recognized the increasing opportunities offered by our big ten is evidenced by the upward strides of our enrollment. In the past 15 years it has more than doubled and now has lopped the 70(H) mark. There is no sign of the expansion leveling off as plans arc being laid to build new dormitory space for women students. During the past years, Auburn has earned its own place in the ranks of the universities and colleges which are held in high esteem throughout this nation. This success can l e attributed to several things. The three major divisions, Instruction, Research, and Extension, have contributed to much of our advancement and are continuing in their here-to-fore successful efforts. Each of us, whether students, faculty, or member of the administration, has had a part in making this year successful. EXTENSION These efforts have not passed unnoticed, and the recognition given in this presentation is a minor tribute for such great service. B A ill A 1» « L V T E € II N I € INSTITUTE

It also provides means whereby discoveries and inventions may be developed, patented, protected, used, and licensed, so as to be of maximum use to the State of Alabama and the Southern region.
