president ' s message Another great milestone has been passed by Lowell Technological Institute. This has been the keynote in a long and illustrious history for the Institute — a year in which Lowell Tech embarked on a new and challenging course. Diversification, which has been the watchword and goal of industry in the post-war years, has also been the inspiration for our new program of progress and development. The addition of Paper and Leather En- gineering curricula has been accomplished with both courses quartered in a new building with modern classrooms, lecture halls, and laboratories. We are now engaged in the establishment of curricula in the Electronics and Plastics Engineering fields, which will round out our engineering program in six fields of technology. At the same time that we embark upon ventures in new areas, we are intensifying and refining our offerings in textile chemistry, textile engineering, and textile manufacturing. Indeed, the whole galaxy of activities which now characterize the operations of the Institute are mutually complementary, and in combination will further enhance the prestige and effectiveness of our educational and research programs, and thus will reflect credit upon Lowell ' s friends and Alumni. Members of the Class of 1954, you have my sincere congratulations for your accomplishments during the past four years — years which are the foundation for your future careers. During your course of study, all of us at the Institute have tried to give you the best possible education in your chosen field. The degree to which you exploit and capitalize upon your education is strictly up to you. Whatever your lot in life, you can be sure that you always have our best wishes for every success and happiness. t uctu (L. JZl f
