Presidenfs Message One of the traits that was highly valued in the developmental history of our nation is individ- ualism. The new settler, the frontiersman, the immigrant prided himself lf0I' having an in- dependent spirit. No shame was attached to differentness, as long as it was accompanied by integrity, morality, and wholesomeness. ' Recent years have seen a change in emphasis. The contemporary thrust has been toward standardization and uniformity. The person who is unique is viewed with suspicious eye. To stand out, in the minds of some, is bordering on sin. One of the more hopeful signs of the younger generation is its growing appreciation of the quality of uniqueness. Being different by virtue of excellence is in. To stand out in a positive way is again becoming a desirable quality. The theme of this year's TOWER is uniqueness. May Concordia Teachers College ever culti- vate this quality. May our faculty be unique in its Commitment to divine truth revealed and human truth ever to be studied. May our students be unique in attitudes that are at the same time highly Christian and highly intellectual. May this uniqueness however never be the source of pride. Instead may it lead to adoring praise of Him who has set us all apart for the task of helpingother people praise Him. Board of Control: Oscar Wilk, Lee Lohrberg, Rev. 0. A.
