COSSARD, OUR DEAN AND FRIEND, WE, THE STUDENTS OF EAST- ERN NEW MEXICO COLLEGE DEDICATE THE 1947-48 SILVER PACK As he retires from the dean's position this spring to complete a 50-year teaching career. in 1949, may we say that his contributions to ENMC as dean and as teacher will be remembered. His enthusiasm, sincerity, intelligence, and graciousness make him not only one of the best teachers ever, and a good counsellor, but also a fine fellow just to know. We feel that Dr. Gossard can, indeed, claim what every man seeks: success in his chosen career.

FOREWORD In this, the first full year our Alma Mater has been accredited with North Central Association, we pay special tribute to the college itself and to its contributions in the field of higher learning. Educa- tion has been established as the saviour of the world from strife and turmoil, and it is to this cause that ENMC has been dedicated the past nine months and every year since its founding. It is not for us to say that 1947-48 has been the greatest in the history of ENMC, but certainly its achievements cannot be over- shadowed by past or future events. Besides the advancements made in scholarship and in training men and women to create a better world, the highlight of these two semesters, perhaps, is the tangible evidence of the ENMC building program.

We could not possibly include every event of the past year within the annual, but in the following pages we have done our best to give you a pictorial review of some of the accomplishments, the fun, the work, and the everyday life on the campus of ENMC in 1947-48.
