MICHIGAN COLLEGE OF MINING AND TECHNOLOGY OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT HOUGHTON, MICHIGAN GROVER C. DILLMAN To the Students of the College: The publication of the 1949 Keweenawan marks tne completion of another academic year. Quite naturally at a time like this, we tend to survey both the accomplishments of the past and the prob- ems of (the future. The 1948-49 academic year has been one of the busiest in the history of the College. To a great extent we have converted from the accelerated war- time and postwar programs to a basis of regular operating procedure. This conversion has been marked by a frictionless blending of veteran and non-veteran enrollment nd by a stabilization of our overall College progran., We have in no sense, however, simply reverted to prewar status. We are more conscious now of education's obligation to the nation and to the world, and our program has been redesigned to ful- fill those obligations, How well we have succeeded will be determined by the success achieved by our graduates when they enter the active fields of science and engineering. We have confidence in their ability to face the problems of the world and to find satisfactory solu- tions. I am sure that the administration of the College, the faculty and staff, and the undergraduate student body wish them all success and happiness, DICE Rely. s) President A
