The l'resident's Message This has been one of the finest years in the history of the College. Our first full ten years of teaching will come to a close with Convocation on May lo, Our first graduates in the complete courses in Arts, Science and Commerce ltheir year was l949l have begun to make their mark in the world. Bachelors of Journalism and Public Administration were gradu- ated in l946, but much of their university work had been done before they came to Carleton College. Most graduates have entered employment, but post-graduate studies have been embarked upon by a creditable number not only in Canadian but in British and American universities. The teaching staff of the College has increased in number and improved in quality since first the graduates of l952 enrolled in Carleton's classes. The quality will be further improved with the return from leave of absence of several members of Faculty who have been studying abroad. And some additional appointments to staff will be made in September l952. The new library building, opened for use in June l95l, has made a significant difference in the life of the College. The Librarian reports a marked increase in the number of books in circulation. The appointment of Professor James A. Gibson, B.A. lU.B.C.l, B.A., B.Litt., D.Phil. lOxon.l to be first Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science was another important forward step. One of the goals of the College has been to obtain from the Government of Ontario a charter in which specific reference would be made to the College's degree granting powers. Degrees have been conferred, until now, under the Letters Patent of the Ottawa Association for the Advancement of Learning. On April lO, l952 the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario gave Royal Assent to The Carleton College Act, 1952. By this Act, the College is endowed with university powers , with power and authority to grant in all branches of learning any and all university degrees and honorary degrees and diplomas , and with power to establish and maintain such faculties, schools, institutes, departments, chairs and courses of instruction as shall be deemed meet by the Board , i.e. the Board of Governors. Carleton College thus stands confirmed by specific charter in the university life upon which it entered in l942. You who are the graduates of this year have assisted in bringing to birth Canada's youngest university. My best wishes are addressed to every member of the Class of '52 As undergraduates you brought your many splendid qualities of mind and heart into the service of the College. As graduates you will, I am confident, while not abating your loyalty to your Alma Mater, contribute richly to the life of Canada and of the world. PRESIDENT OF CARLETON COLLEGE -3-
