-•. r r Dr. Uhler is concerned about everything which might strengthen and enrich our college academically. Indiana is fortunate indeed to have such a shrewd and kindly chief executive. Perhaps no institution in the country can claim a president who is more generally regarded as fair and forward-looking by his cam- pus, his communitij. and the state he serves.

Administration and Faculty ... for ivhat we have learned we have taught and while we have taught ive have learned. For every great, star and for every great pro- duction there must be equally great directors. From experience gleaned through the years of learning, from knowledge absorbed from the experiences of others and from common sense developed through the years of deahng with one ' s fellows, the directors pass on to their understudys the best that the years of practice have endowed them. With patience and understanding but with a necessary firmness, a sys- tematic and thorough method of bringing out the very best in character, in intelligence, and in the practical application of essential qualities has been developed that the ' stars ' of tomorrow will be fully equipped to meet the future. ■We present the Directors of the Year 1947 at Indiana, The Administration and Faculty.

THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1947 Seventy-two years ago this May, the first students of the Indiana State Teach- ers College (Normal School to 1927) met in the only building on the campus. Since then the school has enjoyed great expansion, both material and academic. Many outstanding characters among students and faculty have been associated with the college during these years. Practically every class has had some of its repre- sentatives reach high positions in chosen fields and the Class of 1947 will contribute its share. We entertain high hopes for you because of your native capacities, your educational achievements, and the opportunities you will have in a new age in which to apply your talents and training. The traditions of this school were estab- lished by people like yourselves. You have profited by the contributions of former classes and your participation will help future groups. When you stop to realize that your attitudes, your likes and dislikes, in fact, your entire personalities and philosophies of life are the result of education, you must feel a keen sense of respon- sibility to those who follow us. We bespeak for you a wholesome respect for the ordinary decencies and homely virtues accompanying truth and character. If exercised, they will add prestige to the college and success and respect to your individual lives. You are graduates of a great school. Go forth and make your contributions, and may the world be kind to you. Dr. Uhler dictates a letter to Miss Jenkins. Thirlccii
