President Royal F. Netzer Many of the things which we have worked for and dreamed about during the last fifteen years are becoming realities. This is true not only with respect to the physical expansion of the campus, but even more so with respect to programs offered and the size and scholarly strength of the faculty. In the next few years we must make great efforts to consolidate our gains and refine them while at the same time seeking new ways to improve instruction and learning for more people. I am confident that the coming years will be both exciting and profitable for the State Univer¬ sity College at Oneonta as a branch of the State University of New York. Royal F. Netzer President 28 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY
