ADMINISTRATION One of the joys of being a college faculty member or administrator is that we may watch succeeding generations of students come to our campus as fresh- men and follow their progress through their college days. It is a real source of satisfaction to be associ- ated with them as they grow in wisdom and be- come mature, enlightened men and women. just as it has been a thrilling experience for us of the faculty to have had a part in this development of men and women during their college days, so it will be a lasting privilege for us to continue a close asso- ciation with these graduates in the challenging years which lie ahead. As the word commencement sug- gests, graduation does not mark an end, but rather a beginning-a beginning of rich and fruitful adult life for the graduate, and a beginning of the very closest and finest relationship between the graduate and his Alma Mater, In these days of cold war,', cynicism, and uncer- tainty, the devotion of a graduate to his Alma Mater and the pride of Alma Mater in its family, give re- assurance that our sense of the higher values has not been lost. It is our fondest hope that the undergrad- uate years on this campus, the college friendships, our individual and collective triumphs and disappoint- ments, our striving together to build a greater univer- sity, have furnished a foundation upon which every one of us will build a fuller and more useful life, and which will equip us better to make our necessary con- tributions to the preservation and improvement of our complex world society and our democratic way of life. This has been a year of unparalleled growth and development for our university. It is the result of the increasing loyalty and devotion of our students and faculty. May the years that lie ahead mark the steady continuation of that growth and of an era of greater accomplishment and service by all Bradley men and women! Dr. David B.
