The tradition of Quincy College consists of a belief in the value of the individual, a refusal to stamp him or her with a number, and an idea that heaven can be gained just as easily with a smile as a frown. Quincy College students are a representative sampling of their huge native land. They come from the teeming cities, the cross-roads ' villages and the small midwest towns, near and distant. Most, but not all, are of the Catholic faith. Their academic interests are as varied as their backgrounds . . . and so are their opinions.

Time to Grow Growth, or more appropriately, development of Quincy College en- compasses more than buildings and fund-raising, and many more people than are found in the class- rooms and offices of St. Francis Hall. Development plans this year at Quincy College, included not only blueprints for new buildings, but also plans for curriculum changes, for new faculty members, for strengthening departments — for always striving towards higher aca- demic goals. People working for the future of Q.C., included not only the faculty and staff, but alumni, laymen serving voluntarily on the lay board of trustees, serving with the parents groups and with the president ' s advisory councils. Their aim was to advance the college ' s $5,000,000 Decade of Progress pro- gram, first for a better Q.C., then a bigger one. Chairman of the lay board of trustees of the college this year is Edward C. Kennedy of Chicago, Illinois. Some of the officers of the Quincy College Alumni association whose work this year materially aided the college are, left, Greg Walz, president, and, above, Rollie Thomas, John Wensing and Paul Abele.
