An Unforgettol ble Yeour The completion of the three new buildings by the opening ofthe fall semester and the dedication week pro- gram will not be forgotten by those who today walk in and out of these buildings. Concomitantly, l cannot think ofthe new buildings without mentioning the evident emergence of a new spirit and a new image. The brochure prepared for the dedication festivities gave striking expression to the same thought in the phrase: This is the new Grand View . . .

I know that students are looking not only for facilities, but also for changes which will be innovative and experimental. Fortunately, the new is not unrelated to the past. Grand View is very rich in tradition. lt always has maintained that what matters most in life is an education for life. lt wants to serve, serve freely, but the price of that commitment is high! Yet, it will pay dividends. Who can put a price tag on life? I hope that you, in five
