The 1961 Drift presents a pirtorial record of an exciting year in the history of Butler University. In it you will find views of our beautiful new buildings, glimpses of campus life, and — most im- portant of all — portraits of your teachers and fellow students. As the years pass, there will be many changes at Butler — generations of students will come and go; new teachers will join the faculty; and the physi- cal plant will continue to grow. Then you will often find yourself turning to your copy of the Drift in an attempt to recapture the good old days of 1963-64. Yes, you will say, that is the way things used to be at Butler. Such changes are, of course, inevitable. Yet one thing will remain constant — the dedication of your University to the goal of academic excellence. The faces on campus will change, and the campus itself will in time be altered; but Butler University will always strive to offer its students an education of the highest quality. Alexander E. Jones President
