rom I redident iViCaLjonatci. Los Angeles State College ' s development into a major educational insti- tution in just thirteen years is unprecedented and unparalleled. I know of no case in history where a college has achieved such stature in so short a time. The College has been uniquely designed to meet the higher educational requirements of students preparing for their place in an increasingly complex culture. It represents the best that has been learned over the centuries about quality in education, matched with the educational demands of the expanding, highly industrialized civilization. The result is a revolutionary new kind of institution, complex and varied in its organization but keenly sensitive to its assigned task of providing a kind of education which people are seeking. Students find here the educa- tional experience they want and need, from the highly classical to the most practical. This year for the first time in our history our student body is made up of people in all years of college work, from freshmen through gradu- ate students. The growing interest in campus activities is heartwarming and exciting to watch. I am proud of the way in which the student body is developing a strong organization to govern student affairs, a proud set of traditions to glorify and perpetuate the good name of the college and a genuine spirit of loyalty and interest in promoting the future greatness of L.A.S.C. The greatness of our college in the future will be largely an extension of your successes as students and a reflection of your achievements as graduates. A college can have no greater reward than the successes of its graduates. To this year ' s graduates, I wish every success in their future endeavors. President Howard S. McDonald S tajrP statutes S tiicient wo vefnmeni Los Angeles State College is often called a commuter ' s college which in truth it is. But it is more than this; it is the gathering place for 14,000 plus people who have a common goal but also their own individual interests. To regulate the multi-various activities of this assemblage un- der one well-balanced program is the function of Student Government. The dedication of these student leaders has done much to raise the spirit of our college. We of the Pitchfork staff recognize their contributions and in doing so have dedicated the 1961 Pitchfork to Student Government. si :
