O iceAA, Of llie fldministration Millikin ' s fortieth anniversary marks a defi- nite trend in social sensitivity on the port of our student body which merits recognition and acclaim. There is a grov ing consciousness of a unity of purpose, a common goal, a com- posite of cultural, scholastic, and spiritual background tow ard v hich we all are striving. Tangible progress in this democratic process is seen in inter-fraternity and inter-sorority relationships many of which are fast becoming Millikin traditions. In these days when such qualities as toler- ance, cooperation, mutual respect, and a sensi- tized responsibility for others seem to be out- casts in the world, it is good to find a deepen- ing attitude toward the fundamentals of fine living in our own Millikin Way of Life. Just forty years ago the State of Illinois is- sued a charter for a new university — James Millikin. The university was to be distinctive in that it was to be cultural, vocational, and Christian. To this distinctive pattern every loyal student, faculty member, and alumnus is committed. In these times when tyranny and brute force are seeking the conquest of the world, a civilization that is worth saving will find within this pattern forces of defense, sur- vival, and growth. For the years ahead let us all, individually and collectively, pledge ourselves to secure for Millikin ever better resources, both material and human, for carrying forward OUR pro- gram. offlo mi 15
