PRESIDENT HILTON BULlEY To Members of the Class of 1963: The officers and staff of the Laurel deserve our wholehearted Commendation and thanks for producing this fine Twenty-Fifth Anniversary edition of our College Yearbook. In reviewing the events chronicled in this volume and those over the past 25 years, a hardly more appropriate theme than 'fGrowth could have been chosen to describe the developments at Southern Con- necticut State College during this quarter century period. This impressive chapter in the history of our college should be a source of no little pride to you and to all the others before you who have contributed to and benefited from this success story. In 1938 as New Haven State Teachers College, it was taking its first steps as a four-year degree granting teacher education institution. Now, 25 years later - no longer a single purpose teachers college, it has. changed its name to Southern Connecticut State College, become a general college offering both liberal arts as well as teacher education programs, expanded curricula in breadth and depth in all special areas, raised the standards of college admission and the scholastic requirements for graduation, attracted a faculty of outstanding scholar-teach- ers, moved the physical plant of the college from a congested section of New Haven to a spacious 125 acre campus on the outskirts of the city, constructed a 10 million dollar physical plant providing some of the best instructional facilities in New England, becoming a residential college through the opening of resident halls for men and women, established a broad pro- gram of student personnel services, and provided a comprehen- sive offering of student activities including an outstanding pro- gram of intercollegiate athletics. Noteworthy as these accomplishments may be, the most sig- nificant measurement of the quality and of the success of an insti- tution of higher education is the growth of its students during college and their later success in life. In both respects Southern Connecticut State College is casting a long shadow. It is there- fore a distinct pleasure for me to extend to the Members of the Class of 1963 the heartiest congratulations of your College for so nobly upholding and in some instances pushing to even greater heights the finest traditions of your Alma Mater. was , Hilton C. Buley President
