Tft P jaecfcte Pieseufe ... HERE IVE PRESENT the life and the learning process in a typical American college. Sun-drenched beaches, rugged mountains, and healthful outdoor liv- i,l SIve California colleges in general and Long Beach State College in par- ticular the certain zest and flavor which make education an adventure and a special challenge. Throughout the United States col- lege campuses are overflowing with students as more and more ambitious, intelligent Americans of all ages an- swer the call and the challenge of the modern world. California college stu- dents hear their call to adventure and life in the voice of the pounding surf of the vast Pacific Ocean. Our fore- fathers heard the same call by the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. It led them to the discovery of the new world. Many years ago Roger A sc ham, tutor to Elizabeth I, said that education can teach faster than experience and that it is more painless. This is still true, but the sum of knowledge has increased a thousandfold since the sixteenth cen- tury. In college we learn about the edu- cated men of yesterday who opened up new vistas of knowledge and explora- tion, and who have had a profound influence on the history of the world and on our tvay of life. They give the challenge to us, the educated men and women of the fu- ture. The philosophies, the patterns of thought, the skills, the devotion to duty which we learn here in college today will become our substance, our treas- ure, the heritage which we give to the ever expanding world of the future. This is our promise, our hope—that as the old day ends, the new day is ready to dawn. It is our day.

COLLEGE LIFE has many facets. For the students it is a way of life and a way of learning to live an enriched and fruitful life in the future. Dedicated professors and administrators make this possible. President McIntosh, the Deans, the Division Chairmen, and other executives of the College com- prise the Administrative Council, which is respon- sible for carrying out a policy of tuition-free higher education in California for all who qualify. With the aid of more than 500 competent professors and a corps of specialized workers in the various branches of college activity, this executive body strives to maintain high scholastic standards and efficient op- eration of all phases of the college complex.
