l8 southern meihodisi university . is more than a collection of books with a collection of students to study them and a collection of faculty members to see that they do. It is true that we are here to teach and that we consider our students, both graduates and under- graduates, as adults. We are here to assist young adults as they learn how to think and how to cope with the real world about them. Part of the young adults process of maturing is the experience of contact with a broad range of ideas. This concept of teaching has been used by colleges and universities since the beginning of their existence and it has nurtured the most stalwart individuals in our American culture. As sure as we are here to teach, we are also here to be of service. We would provide an atmos- phere Where the Whole person can grow: through his intellectual development and his religious growth, his physical well-being, his social and recreational life, and his opportunities for leadership. A University must also discover unknown facts and develop human relations. We are here not only to teach and serveebut also to engage in research. The world needs new ideas. It is our mis- sion to continue to bring outstanding scholars to our campus; and then we must give them tools in a creative environment and encourage them to pursue free academic and scientific inquiry. We are here to teach and serve and seek the unknown and we are here to keep a value system alive. Perhaps this is the most important function of all. Facts are not wisdom unless they are re- lated to spiritual values. Southern Methodist University is, proudly, a religious institution, for we know that Christian idealism motivates the wisest and best in life. We will uphold the dignity of man and the indestructibility of human personality. We will see all men as the sons of God and espouse the exaltation of love, integrity, faith, work, and artistic expression. As these things are basic to the American foundation and to the American way of life, so they are vital to Southern Methodist University. 94m, m. at PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY perkins adminislraiion building
