Qirrv-5' Dr. Morgan S. Odell College President MESSAGE TO VOYAGEUR The cu rrent school year is the seventh on the new campus. It might be thought of as the lucky seventh or the seventh inning stretch. Probably the latter term more nearly characterizes our expe- riences during this year, for we have not had any unusual luck in connection with gifts to the College or in the college ac- tivities. We are able to record a rolling tide of great goodwill toward the Col- 'fzn lege which we find expressed every- where. Self-examination and improvement have been the chief characteristics of T948-49. The fac- ulty has examined the teaching methods and the curriculum and have definitely stepped up the academic accomplishments which we seek at Lewis and Clark College. More attention has been given to individual guidance and counseling. Students and faculty have carefully considered the matter of national social organizations and have weighed the advantages and disadvantages both to the individual and to the college. More time in the schedule has been freed for meetings of the various student activities because their value for personal growth has been recognized. Even though no major building has been done, the College has been able to add essential equipment, furnishings and facilities. These have included the athletic field, the speech arts workshop, the student center, the science works hop, audio-visual aids to instruction and other essential items. lt has been good to have had such a year to re-examine our purposes and our program. Because of it our students, our faculty, and our trustees are all stronger. There are great needs for buildings, more endowment, strengthened library and faculty advancement. The new in- sights and the new fellowship of this year will help us realize some of these needs in a nearer future. Morgan Odell
