Ten Message For Monocal We who are in college today are privileged to see the unfolding of a new era-to see history in the making. XVe can see in the space of months changes more fundamental and more potent in the lives of men than transformations that have required centuries. Among all the forces at work-economic, social, political--only two seek improve- ment in man himself. These two are religion and educa- tion. Only these two can teach man how to grow into a spiritual stature that will match his mechanical and scienti- fic achievements. During the year 1946-1947, our campus has seen the beginning of a new and expended service for California. It is the joining with all other institutions of higher learning in Pennsylvania in a united effort to solve the biggest problem higher education has ever faced in Pennsylvania. To all who have shared in this enterprise, whether they will remain on California's campus or transfer to other colleges, cordial greetings and best wishes are extend- ed. With these wishes we express the hope that the Mono- cal of 1947 may bring to,,eaic,h one pleasant memories of worthwhile work-memories.-of rich frienships ancl of happy days. Robert M. Steele

Q DR. ROBERT M. STEIil,1i, President California is a friendly place: the first and last impressions of our school is its friendliness. The man who is in a great part responsible for this tradition is our president, Dr. Robert M. Steele. Always ready, always willing, to give personal attention to student's problems, Dr. Steele has endeared himself to every student and faculty member with whom he has been associated. Since ,lune 1946, he has devoted much of his time to making possible the opportunity for every veteran who is desirous of a higher education to attend college. As the State Coordinator of Pennsylvania Area College Centers, he was responsible in locating and 'setting up college facilities for 120,000 young people who, otherwise, would not have been able to attend a college or university. We, the students of California State Teachers College, hail you, Dr. Steele, as a man with whom we are proud to be associated, and we recognize you as .1 true and loyal friend. Efrwcrr
