DR JOSEPH R. CROWLEY President Northern Montana College PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ln the process of education there must be catalysts that bring together the many diverse elements which comprise the totality of education. These catalysts are nothing more or nothing less than simple faith and hope. When teachers, students, buildings, programs, courses, social activities, and athletic events are placed in the context called a college they are all given meaning and coherence by faith and by hope This edition of the Northerner presents a record of one year of faith and hope. Faith in the capacities and hope for the aspirations of young men and women give force to human effort. Although hope and faith are imme- diate in that they happen now, more significantly faith and hope are pros- pective because they unify and glorify today those things which will have meaning tomorrow in the lives of students and teachers alike. The will that man has to aspire and the faith to prevail in the struggle to attain to individual significance which dignifies the whole of mankind are the agents that catalyze education. This Northerner and Northern Montana College might stand as representative of what the product of education is. They might stand as testimony of the accomplish- ment today and the hope and faith that will make this accomplishment greater tomorrow. Sincerely, President
