DR. CATHERINE J. ROBBINS, Assistant Pri in Charge of Day School Administration With the end of the 6-4-4 |unior college plan at Pasadena City College, comes the chal- lenge of developing, with courage, intelligence and good will, the 6-3-3-2 organization. The four-year junior college has served this community with a fine spirit of professional usefulness, constructive ideals and excellent standards of achievement. The two-year junior college, likewise, will occupy a high place of educational leadership not only in Pasadena and the surrounding area but also throughout the United States. Let us all ioin, with wisdom and maturity, in planning the new college and developing the program of instruction, activities and guidance. The intelligent cooperation of people of good will and good faith can build a new |unior college meriting the respect, pride and loyal affection of student, faculty and patrons. Assistant Principal

DR. WILLIAM B. LANGSDORF, Principal This splendid 1954 Campus is to be the last yearbook of Pasadena City College as a four- year institution. Our foui-year |unior college had its origin in 1928, and in the quarter century since that time it has developed into one of the great junior colleges of the nation. On June 30, 1954, this four-year Pasadena City College will close its doors and terminate its history. Many graduates, many students, and many of the faculty will witness this with sadness and regrets. The same thing will also be true of the many graduates, students, and faculty of John Muir College which has, in the short period since its origin in 1946, become a splendid institution. Next September many of us will join in opening the doors of a new, two-year junior college which will represent the merging of Pasadena City College and John Muir College. While we may regret our losses, we should regard the opening of this new institution as a splendid opportunity to combine the best that has been developed in Pasadena City College and John Muir College. Students, faculty, and alumni of both have an opportunity to build a junior college greater than either of those which have preceded it. We can build on the wealth of tradition and experience which has grown over a period of many years, and which will make possible the finest junior college in the United States. All of us will unite in lending our energy, our enthusiasm, and our ideas to the building of this new and greater College.
