Wifh a pleasanf smile and a sympafhefic ear for all fhe sfuderifs and faculfy members, Docfor Ralph Pralor complefed his second successful year as presi- denf of Bakersfield College. A look af his educafional background leaves no doubf as fo his qualificalions for fhis posifion. Docfor Prafor received recognifion in bolh foofball and baseball af fhe Universify of Colorado, where he received his A.B. and M.A. de- grees. l-le earned his Docforafe of Educafion af The Universify of California. ljle has had exfensive 'reach- ing experience in fhe sfafes of Colorado, New Mex- ico, and California, and is The aufhor of several arli- cles in fhe field of educafion. ' Docfor Prafor came 'ro Bakersfield College in l95O fo fill fhe posifion vacafed by Miss Grace Bird. We of Bakersfield College look forward 'ro fufure years of pleasanf associafions wifh our much honored and respecfed presidenf. a Technological advances hold ouf promises for The near fufure 'rhaf are almosf beyond belief. We may have solar heafed homes and, wifhin cerfain limifs. confrolled climafic condifions. Transporfafion has already given us speeds 'rhaf have shrunk The size of our planef in fravel 'rime more fhan a hundred fold. In fhe area of communicafions if is pos- sible for us fo wifness evenfs in all parfs of fhe world as fhose evenfs are acfually hap- pening. The facsimile newspaper senf by wire phofo fo radio receivers is a working realify. And if is more fhan likely fhaf new sfrides in mass media of communicafion will be made before we have even fully realized 'rhe implicalions of 'fhose now wifh us. Whaf a ferrific impacf modern science is making upon our livesl As improvemenfs in communicafion and fransporfafion draw us closer To our neigh- bors across fhe oceans, we musf grow in our undersianding of 'rhei culfural and social fradifions which have been a parf of our neighbors' herifage. The barriers 'ro a beffer undersfanding of peoples of ofher lands are all foo offen due fo our lack of willingness fo see fhe ofher fellow's poinf of view and fo undersfand his way of life. The fools and machines fechnology has puf info our hands are neifher good nor evil in fhemselves. They are merely means. lf is lhe ends foward which we use fhose means 'rhaf may be measured in ferms of moralify. The sfudies which deal wifh fhe arl' of living wifh our fellow men are fhe areas in which we shall have fo devofe an increasing amounf of our fime and our efforf. lf we can make 'rhe same progress in 'lhe science of human relafions which we have made in communicafions, in 'rransporfafion and in oiher aspecfs of our daily living, we shall be well on our way foward achieving fhe besf obiecfives of fhe Unifed Nafions. We can buf hope 'rhaf wifhin our lifefime war shall have become an obsolefe prac- fice in fhe seffling of infernafional differences, a closed chapfer in fhe hislory book. RALPH PRATOR.
