Fred S. Hultz To the President ol our College... A college cannot be a college without a presidentg a good college cannot be good without a good president. The thousands of tiny administrative details that entangle every official, and the big decisions that produce equally large benlits for our school must be made with proportionate care. Not only is the regulation and supervision of campus affairs demanded, but also an active participation in community and state-wide projects is required of the college president. I-Ie must display as much dignity and tact when dismissing classes alter the raucous Homecoming Rally as when representing our school at the Council of Campus Presi- dents. He must greet each of the three thousand-odd students of NDSC with a smile, and remember countless names and tacesg and break oft a long-planned trip to Alaska to assume the huge responsibility of directing the restoration of the campus after the Iune 20th tornado. He must symbolize the guidance of our alma mater during our four years ot college study, and its influence during our years as alumni. For these things, and so much more, thank you, Dr. Fred S. Hultz. l :ms 4.1 'Z
