DEDICATION PRESIDENT WILLARD STEWART PAUL Lieutenant General Willard Stewart Paul, imbued with the ideals of liberal education, be- came the ninth president of Gettysburg College October 19, 1956. Through his profound devotion, relentless efforts, wisdom and foresight, the College has attained unprecedented heights. The most evident strides have been made in the physical and material expansion of the college. He has initiated and carried out the largest building program in the colleges his- tory and has brought to culmination a decade of expansion and living facilities. President Paul, with an abiding concern for the future of Gettysburg College, imple- mented in April of 1959 a decision by the Board of Trustees to launch the most ambitious fund campaign in the history of the college. At that time a goal of five million dollars which is to be realized over a five year period was set. Already President Paul has brought to ful- fillment plans for a modern language building, a physics building, an infirmary, and a Stu- dent Union Building, and five new dormitories. As he leaves the campus he will be able to see progress being made towards the completion of the physical education building, library addition and Civil War Institute as well as an increase in faculty salaries and student scholarships. He leaves to his successor plans for an administrative center and a life sci- ence building. These strides are only a part of the contributions which serve to remind us of President Paulis years of devoted service to Gettysburg College. Most important is the manifestation of his faith in the dignity of Gettysburg College as shown in his open declaration: Our main concern, however, is for the development of spiritual and intellectual growth? In formulating college academic policy, President Paul has conscientiously sought face ulty assistance. The president and faculty have made curriculum improvements in the fields of mathematics, English, physics, language, political science and international studies. To the students President Paul has oEered a challenge to act and think responsibly, criti- cally, and maturely. He has encouraged the broadest development of student govern- ment. With the support of the faculty and the student body he was instrumental in estab- lishing an honor system which demands the academic honesty of all those involved. We, the students, accept his challenge and gratefully dedicate the 1961 SPECTRUM to him.
