A MESSAGE FROM THE FACULTY www, Q . DR. D. ALEXANDER SEVERINO The Class of 1950 should be congratulated for its efforts to re-establish tor this Institute an annual student publication, The Pioneer. It might be well for us of the Faculty to evaluate our aims and our methods in terms of the spirit exemplified by the pioneers who leave us at the mid-century mark. The continued growth and development of the Institute depends upon the loyalty and the continuing support of our graduates as well as the vision of our Administration and the efforts of our Facultyi May you continue to exercise to best advantage for yourselves and for your communities the skills, knowledge, and ideals that you have begun to develop with us. i Maw!

PRESIDENTCS MESSAGE It seems quite appropriate that the resumption of the publishing of the senior year book should go along with the raising of the educational sights of the Institute. I want to congratulate the class of 1950, particularly those who were directly in charge of the proiect, for the fine piece of work they have done. It has taken a great deal of thought and hard work on the part of the Board of Trustees and the faculty to effect the transition of the school from the level of a voca- tional institution to one with full collegiate standing, one authorized to award the Bachelor of Science degree. While much has already been accomplished, there is still more to be done.Alt can only be accomplished through the united efforts of the alumni, the student body and the staff. Any medium through which information about the progress of the Institute can be desseminated is not only helpful but vitaly necessary if the Institute is to function as a progressive educational unit. It seems to me that one of the best ways to spread such information is through a well balanced year book. I sincerely hope that you graduates will keep in close contact with the Institute in the days ahead. Your constructive criticism can be very valuable. M4266 7
