Although the theme of this yearbook is ' forward- lookingness ' , I wjuld like to begin by indulging briefly in some ' backward- lookingness ' . When I was a freshman student at my university, the president, in his welcoming speech, noted that one of th ' e main obligations of the university was to encourage the stu- dents to read, to write, and, above all, to think. This is the educational process at university regardless if one is studying English, Sociology History, or any other discipline. Granted, there are special skills that a specialist in lib- r B r y work must acquire and perfect, but, and now indulging in forward-lookingness ' , I hope that the students of this grad- uating class have seized upon the opportunity to practise the discipline of reading, writing, and thinking. If they have learned their lessons well, they cannot fail to realize their ambitions at, technicians and to be able to confront with con- fidence the many challenges of life and, finally, to make theii own significant contributions to society. D. CROZIER, PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH There is nothing now being done inefficiently in libraries which cannot be done more inefficiently by computers- at greatly increased cost. MR. D. SHARP
