DEDICATION For a university to grow toward greatness, it requires more than just a faculty of academic ex- cellence. It also requires equal excellence in the men guiding this complex entity into the future. The last four years have been years of unparalleled growth for Lehigh. We have seen the construction of three new academic buildings, a new power house, four new fraternity houses, and now the construc- tion of a new residence hall complex. The dynamic leadership necessary to make all this possible has come from a man who has always had a strong attachment for Lehigh. Following his gradua- tion from Lehigh with a B.S. in Business in 1944, he joined the admission ' s office. Over the years, he has also served as assistant to both Lehigh ' s treasurer and president before assuming his present position in 1962. For his work, he has been honored as a winner of the Alfred Noble Robinson Award for out- standing service to Lehigh by a member of the staff under thirty-five. His spirit, his optimism, and his love for Lehigh make him a man truly worthy of our emulation. It is indeed a great honor to dedicate the 1971 Epitome to Paul J. Franz, Jr., Vice-President for Development Public Relations.

T Oa If prsrA } V- 9«Mt A I vaguely remember my first day, my first JO week, as a Lehigh freshman. Staring at pnimeographed notices shoved in my face, f meticulously attending the insignificant orien- tetion meetings, anxiously wondering about my roommate and the other guys I would meet, watching Steck scream, shout, dance, and cry, Seventy-one for fun, trying to ob- tain beer, waiting two hours in a bookstore line to pay outrageous prices for textbooks, sweating constantly in the hot, overcast, humid Bethlehem air, muttering a quiet good- bye to my father — these images flash through my mind. Little did I realize then that I was saying good- bye to an old life style and to an old set of val- ues, and saying hello to a new sense of in- dividualism, to a new perception of reality, to , a new world of fantasy. Now nearly all has changed!
