i REUBEN SEID, MD. President Since the ,49 issue of Focus, the Chicago College of Qptometry has made significant progress. This noteworthy achievement would have been impossible unless each of us, in his respective job as administrator, faculty member, or student, had done his assigned taslc well. -lo each of you, a heart- felt thanks. But the problem just solved brings a new and greater challenge in its stead. We are faced with the growing problems inherent in a five year curriculum. This means that each of us has an in- creased responsibility. lt means further, that the profession of optometry has seen fit, and rightly so, to align itself on a teaching and practical level with the foremost service professions of our time. ln each of these attainments the Chicago College of Qptometry has played a leading role. ln your wholehearted support lies the success of this worthy program. It demands the full coopera- tion of those who have graduated, as well as those of us who stay on. lf the rate of progress is to be undiminished, it will be necessary for each graduate to lend increasing aid to his Alma Mater so that it may continue to flourish and continue to offer to the optometric profession only those men and women not only trained, but dedicated to the highest precepts of professional optometry. The termination of the graduates studies here, is in no sense a brealcing of the school ties. Rather, it means a strengthening of them. Each graduate is the bearer of a message, and by each graduate your school is judged. ln this we share a mutual stalce, forthe higher the auality of the graduate, the better the school. We at CCC, have no misgivings about the land of men and women we graduate, They are in the front ranlc of educators and practitioners, It is they who will form an articulate alumni group, who will see to it that their Alma Mater continues to serve optometry on the same high plane as it has ir. the past. Through their alumni activities we will continue to enjoy the quality of student and the prestige that we have so painstakingly achieved up until now, and continue to render profession optometry the highest possible service,
