P e illent Ri ey Behind the college must stand a man devoted to it, a man ambitious for it . . . a president. That man at NNC is Dr. John E. Riley. As a man of vision and courage, he continued to direct the administration of NNC for his thirteenth year. To the faculty, he is the chief, striving with them to attain the goals established by the Board of Regents. To the student he is a challenge as he points them toward the theme of the year Enduring Values in Dynamic Change. Perhaps the man and the spirit of the college can best be revealed through his own words as he expresses his reflections of Autumn 1965: The sounds, colors, and excitement of a college campus are particularly striking during the early fall weeks. Given a beautiful green campus of some fifty-four acres . . . add 1,200 people, most of them bright and active youth . . . toss in choirs, bands, and orchestras practicing . . . punctuate with the cheers of an athletic contest . . . add the tinkle of laughter and the murmur of happy conversations . . . sprinkle with a few falling yellow leaves . . . touch it all with the soft glow of the autumn sun . . . and one can understand some of the reasons why college professors stay on to retirement and then still stay close by as emeriti. Of course, there is much here in addition to the general beauty of the scene. There are such things as hard work and careful management to meet financial obligations, both per- sonal and institutional . . . deadly serious thought and study, to grasp the truth, to prepare for life . . . honest and exciting social and cutural adaptation and assimilation . . . earnest moral and spiritual seeking, together with commitment to God . . . great awareness of the pangs of the world's fear, hate, and longing . . . serious planning for life and service, even for eternity. The whole man-body, soul, and spirit-is planned for in the philosophy and activities of NNC. As it was with our Lord, we wish every student to 'increase in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man.' Secretary to Dr. Riley is Mrs. Helen Hill fl .
