PRESIDENT SAMMARTINO CYVew femgi Citizen of the Year 196 J, Recognizing the quality of the educational leadership in Dr. Peter Sammartino, the New Jersey Advertising Club presented to him its annual award of Citizen of the Year at the Hotel Trent in Newark, New Jersey on June 6, 1963. His achievements in the educational field have long been well known and his constant efforts to achieve recognition for Fairleigh Dickinson University have placed the image of the Institution in the minds of both national and international personalities. Since 1941, the University has been enlarging horizontally at a rapid pace. In the short space of twenty-three years, Teaneck and Madison have become campuses, and this year Hackensack and Banbury, England have been added to the territory now possessed by the University. A new two year Liberal Arts School will'begin operations in Hackensack next year, and Wroxton Abbey, located in Banbury, England, will be the home of the new English Graduate School, which will also be ready by next year for commencement of classes. Fairleigh Dickinson University is ranked among the top ten private institutions in enrollment of students. It boasts one of the largest Evening Divisions in the country. The administration, because of recent developments, saw fit to lower the 1963 incoming Freshman Class, which led to a slight drop in enrollment this year. As the University has grown in territory and enrollment, attempts have been made by Dr. Sammartino to improve its spiritual growth with a possible cemetery or memorial, located on one of the campuses. Deceased administrators and professors will be the benefaCtors of the proposed hallowed ground. With the advent of space exploration and the possibility of space travel and colonization, we may see institutions affiliated with Fairleigh Dickinson University located in various areas of the universe, which would enlarge the University b0th in territory and in spirit. Dr. Sammartino has done a great deal to form the image of Fairleigh Dickinson University. We all owe him our special thanks for his personal endeavors to improve our education and our University.
