The PRESIDENT ' S Message CHICAGO OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT 223S SHEFFIELD AVENUE Dear Graduates and Students: Undoubtedly the most significant event of this academic year was the announcement of long-range plans for the physical and financial im- provement of the University. Students, alumni, friends, and the gen- eral public of Chicagoland now realize that DePaul is concerned about its important role in developing men and women for positions of lead- ership in the business, professional, and cultural fields of our great Midwestern connmunity. For fifty-six years DePaul has been sending into the life-stream of this community an ever-increasing number of intellectually alert and morally sound young people who have enriched every facet of our com- plex society. They are leaders in our courts-- federal, superior, and municipal. They hold positions of great responsibility in our school systems, both public and parochial. They contribute their gen- ius to the research laboratories of industry in the physical and biologi- cal sciences. They apply their talents in marketing, accounting, eco- nomics, management, and finance to the manifold business enterprises of this area. They supervise-- in schools, parks and playgrounds - - the health and physical development of youth. vVith their training in the fine arts they contribute richly to the musical and dramatic wealth of our metropolis. DePaul University wishes to continue and to improve its eminently suc- cessful educational services to Chicago and to our country. With the loyal support of all members of the DePaul family, through the gener- osity of individuals, corporations, and business enterprises which have been enriched by the University, and with the ever-present wealth of God ' s grace, New Horizons for DePaul will be realized.
