Portland State University - Viking Yearbook (Portland, OR)

Page 29 text:

Portland State's second year has continued the march of progress which was so Well begun last year. More space has been made available, and the College Center is rising to promise still greater relief in the future. We have continued to strengthen the faculty. and classroom achievement has been excellent. The second graduating class will be much larger than the first. Student government has functioned efficiently, and student organizations have been stronger and more effective. The College is steadily moving toward higher standards and greater maturity. Each year we have had more reason to be proud of the Viking. This year's issue continues this steady improvement, and we are prouder than ever. I hope that every student has had a worthwhile year in college, and that we shall see a large proportion of this year's student body back again next year. We are developing a quiet pride in our College, and each succeeding year gives us more reason for this feeling. Best Wishes to all of you as you go forward into the future for which these years in college are helping to prepare you. John F.

BURSCH, II 24 We have just completed a year of marked achievement, State Hall finished, College Center started, and accreditation granted. It is a source of strength and pride to belong to an institution where growth and vitality are characteristic, where laying solid foundations in practical working democracy is an every-day task, where overcoming obstacles is recognized as the only reliable avenue to power and in- fluence. The two aspects of our development with most meaning for me this year were the increasing signs of strength and responsibility in student government, and the very welcome upsurge of general in- terest in student activities. Of. long-range significance to student life was the re-establishment by the Faculty of the Advisor System. Now, with each student required to work through his program with some member of the Faculty, we have moved one step close to the educational teamwork which is a prime goal at Portland State College.
