NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE COLLEGE Mabyviixe, Missoubi OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT To the Students : For many years the program of the Northwest Missouri State College has stressed the development of the student in his intellectual life, his spiritual life, his social life, and his physical life. The 1963 TOWER brings together in an excellent graphic history how each of these phases of student life is reflected in life on the campus of the college. While the 1963 TOWER will be a lasting reminder of 1962-63 to those who have been on the campus, it will also serve as a valuable document in the his- tory of the college. I wish to congratulate the TOWER staff and the Faculty Advisor on this fine pub- lication. The approval of the 1963 TOWER expressed by the student body and the many friends of the college is a partial reward for their efforts. As the college enrollment has increased, student activities have increased. The most gratifying development, however, has been in the increasingly high quality of the work done by the student body. This is reflected in the 1963 TOWER and is a pertinent reason I am proud of the Northwest Missouri State College, its Faculty, and its students. President Northwest Missouri State College 20

NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE COLLEGE Makyville, Missouri Office of the Student Senate School Year, 1962- ' 63 Fellow Students: The Northwest Missouri State College has provided a Foundation for our Fu- ture. Its faculty, administrative personnel, advisors, counselors, and others of the staff have taken an active part in furnishing sturdy material. All have endeavored to provide us with academic, spiritual, and social building blocks for this founda- tion. But for all of their worthwhile efforts, they can provide no more than a founda- tion. The structure which we build upon this base can be either well-built or fr ag- ile. It depends on the care and craftmanship we exercise. Yes, the truly observable portion of our lives will be shaped by our own hands. Beneath and behind us will lie the foundations acquired as undergraduates, but we must build and shape the finished product. We must and we will build higher and greater knowledge. The opportunity is here because we have had access to a bigger and stronger base than ever before. And in turn we must eventually leave a greater foundation than was afforded to us. We are both receiving and building Foundations for the Future. The task is ours. J Sincerely, Ivan W. Lyddon 22
