FRANKLYN Buss SNYDER Vive-President and Dvan of F acultics What is the essential function of a University? l believe that we can frame an answer to that question that describes not a single function, but a three-fold one. First, a university must foster humane culture, second, it must be of immediate and practical service to the community which supports ity and third, it must do all that it can to encourage research. Culture, service, and re- searchfthese are the causes to which a university is dedicated. To develop all three, maintaining a proper balance among, them, and performing each of them with as much distinction as pos- sible-fthis is the concern of Northwestern Uni- versity, and of all other universities worthy of the name. fwfr Ja HARRX' W mins 1 - - - V lcv-Prcszdent and Busmcss M cmagev' With business conditions uncertain and foreign affairs alarmingf-and the tax situation alwavs a matter of grave importancefit is vitally import- ant that we establish a sound financial basis for operating our educational programs. Under the will of the late Roger Deering the University was named residuary legatee. This bequest came to the University wholly unre- stricted and amounted to approximately fll?6,000,000. The new VVomen's Dormitory which will be open for occupancy at the beginning of the fall term, is being financed largely by the James A. Patten R X ' ' ' - ' eseive liund, which was created for gust such a need. Northwestern is a great institution and is still growing. May the class of 1939 carry on! Mlm.
