... the faculty improving instructional quality; . . . A university must have an organizational frame- work, headed by an administration which sets the pace for campus life. With it lies the responsibility of conducting relations with the world outside the community and among the people within the com- munity. It must also select qualified, experienced faculty who can challenge the impatient mind of each student. The high quality of Eastern ' s instructional pro- gram is determined by a faculty that invites its stu- dents to higher academic achievement and guides them toward oriented goals. Teachers endeavor to inspire their students to grasp instruction and trans- form it into usable knowledge which can project them toward future success. By continually search- ing out, preparing, and presenting pertinent ma- terial, and counseling, they strive to help their young learners achieve their individual aims.

. . . students living together in a world apart; . . . The college experience is like none other in one ' s life. More than just a period for completing formal education, it is, for most, the final stage of meta- morphosis from the established patterns of life into one ' s own way of life, accomplished in the unique environment which characterizes a university. From the first moment one arrives at the Univer- sity, he begins living as a self-reliant entity among a sea of diverse personalities. He finds new friends and spends many pleasurable hours in their com- pany; he participates in activities which express his own interests; he falls in love, once or many times; he reflects his values and goals, continually reap- praising them in relation to his ever-widening intel- lectual and social experiences. At the end of his college career, hopefully, he has become capable of taking his rightful place in a challenging society, yet retaining his individuality.
