presidentts message Charles L. Anspach, Ph.D., LL.D. President Someone has said the only thing of which we can be certain is uncertainity. Uncertainty frequently is a result of change. Change forces us to do some re- thinking. changes our mode of living, and jars us out of certain types of proced- ures and forms of behavior. Irrespective of what we do there will be change. Change, however, is not always progress. Progress implies an upward march toward higher levels. New Objectives must be formulated and ideals are brought to the fore. The formation of objectives and the reclaiming 0f ideals mean im- provement in indivduals. It means rearranging our time schedule. It means a cultural and spiritual upgrading of people and social units. Lives, organizations, and societies are affected by change. Change may ul- timately result in progress. Institutions change and make progress. An institution develops atmosphereia general friendliness which makes it easy to learn and inSpires the individuals toward higher levels. Any change in procedures, facili- ties, or methods which tends to encourage individuals to seek truth, aids an in- stitution in meeting her total responsibility. This makes for progress. Many changes have taken place at Central Michigan College; such change we hope is progress. This annual is a record of these changes all of which point to progress. The annual is an exciting picture story of faculty, organizations, and societies7 and gives evidence that the institution is serving its purpose and is meeting its responsibilities. May the story it tells of change and the resulting progress of Central Michigan College tend to inspire others in the years ahead. CHARLES L. ANSPACH
