President ' s Message Greetiings to the Class of 1958 Most of you. I trust, are looking forward to your approaching graduation from Buckneli University with mingled feelings of regret and eagerness, regret at leaving the campus which has been your home for four years and eagerness to begin a new career in a new setting. Since entering Buckneli. you have seen many important changes in the University ' s physical plant, including such important additions as the F. W. Olin Science Building. James S. Swartz Hall, the Freas- Rooke Swimming Pool, and the front on Davis Gymnasium. You have watched with interest the construction of Coleman Hall and perhaps have wished that your college career might be extended so that you could enjo) the fine facilities this newest building will provide. Not so obvious, but of equal importance, have been the constant endeavors to improve the quality of both our teaching and our cur- ricula as Buckneli has progressed on not one but man fronts. We are looking forward to a continuing growth in quality — a growth in which you are invited to share as you join the alumni ranks of your Alma Mater. For Buckneli seeks to be. in every sense of the word, a true Alma Mater, knowing her children one bv one. It is in this spirit that I extend to you my sincere congratulations as you near the end of your college course and offer you my warmest wishes for a happy and useful life. Merle M.
