Southern Methodist University is now in a particularly dynamic period of its history and growth when, with the understanding of our com- munity and region, and other interested publics, we may move towards be- coming the fine private university which has been our destiny and which we all desire. The intensive Master Planning process of 1962-1963 has reaffirmed the best of our tradition and educational philosophy and given this University a framework of goals and specific action to meet the opportunities and respon- sibilities for the future. Witli an underlying commitment to academic integrity, substance and quality, this University is now undertaking to provide the dimension of the extension of knowledge which with the conservation and passing on of knowledge distinguish the true and complete 111zizf'e11iify. The dimension of research and advanced graduate work at the Ph.D. level will be increasingly meaningful in the life of this University. At the same time, Southern Methodist University has been and will remain an institution rooted in the basic arts and sciences, and the College of Arts and Sciences at the heart of the academic enterprise has never been so important. The principle of a sound balance in the University, between undergraduate, professional and graduate education and also between the humanities, the social sciences and the sciences, continues to characterize SMU. It is a primary goal of this University to provide the kind of educa- tion for each student that will be truly liberating and humanizing, that will prepare him to think, to know, to do something of significance in and with his life, and to come to terms with the ultimate questions of being, of spiritual truth and moral values. Our aim is to educate each student for a full life, so that whatever his chosen vocation his contribution may have meaning to himself and to a free society. It is in the best tradition of Southern Methodist University to under- take this educational process in an unchallengeable spirit and atmosphere of intellectual freedom-the free enterprise of ideas-for students and faculty. Our goal is also to provide an experience, in and out of the class- room, library and laboratory, that values the personality, aspirations and potential of every individual engaged in the teaching-learning process. Through a valid curriculum, vital teaching, opportunity for independent study, and a program of student activities of value to the student as a student and as developing the individual, Southern Methodist University aims to create and maintain an unparalleled community of concern on this campus. This University must also realize that it bears a responsibility to serve its society and nation as a source of intellectual and cultural energy and in other specific ways whenever these are consistent with the objectives and role of a university and legitimate needs of society. Our commitment is to these goals, and our confidence is that through them we may fulfill the destiny of Southern Methodist University to provide a meaningful and valid education for our students and so stand among the great institutions of higher learning of this nation.
