Jn ,flflemrfrzam On March 26 1959 National lost one of its staunchest friends with the passing of former faculty member Marguerite Culkins Taylor From 1926 until poor health forced her retirement from full time teaching in 1947 it was a rare student who had not come under the influence of her teaching and in terpretation of the principles of art as applied to the everyday world Color texture and line assumed new meanings for her classes as she lectured introduced specific exam- ples and encouraged her students to try for themselves-the different media of art forms ln 1933 the feeling of her students for her fine qualities both personaland professional was expressed in a dedication of the year book. To Marguerite Culkins Taylor in sincere appre ciation of the creative genius which she brings to the recurring problems of plays, festivals, and the Annual, and of her for greater contribution to the College in the fostering of an apprecia tion among her students, of the enduring beauty of the finer things of life, we dedicate this, the eighteenth volume of The National 10 V:-3,..v , N Q 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1 , . 1 I , i i I -

American higher education needs to have a re-affirmation of its goals and obiectives in the light of an ever-changing world filled with tensions and challenges. We must never lose sight of the need forthe education of the whole individual, which includes his moral and spiritual as well as physical, intellectual and social development. We have a concern for the integrity of the individual and the contribution that he can make to society and the free world. At National College of Education we have always had the growth of each individual as our primary objective with the realization that education of a teacher should be broad enough to include not only what is needed for the professional know-how , but an under- standing of the broad areas of general education. We believe that an understanding and appreciation of the liberal arts is basic to a well-educated person. A teacher must be such a person. Through this approach to higher education a teacher broadens his own intellec- tual base by keeping a free and open mind and reaching decisions only after careful con- sideration. One ofthe real strengths in American higher education is this liberal ap- proach, through which the individual is taught to think and to express himself. We often are on the defensive when the critics attack modern education and assert we need to build more scientists and technologists. It may be true that we need more and better technical experts, but we also need more and better people with specialties in all fields of learning. The challenge facing us in the months and years ahead will not be that of producing a nation of scientists, mathematicians, etc., but that of building a program that will continue to respect and meet the needs of each individual in a free and democratic society.
