n Look At Progress • • • Now in its eightieth year, Stetson University con- tinues to stand out as a pacemaker in the resurgent South and the new Florida. The oldest university in the state, Stetson constantly endeavors to maintain and extend its list of firsts by embarking on massive programs of curriculum revision, faculty enlargement, and building expansion. The past decade alone has seen Dr. Edmunds be the first Florida university presi- dent to head the As.sociation of American Colleges, Dean McEniry be named president of the Southern Assoication of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the uni- versity receive several national government research grants, the alumni to lead all Florida colleges and uni- versities in citations in Who ' s Who in America, and the chapel to receive one of the country ' s few Beckeraupth organs, to cite but a few of the major accompilsh- ments. Such an era of progress can most easily be seen in the building program now underway, and these two pages show the advances made in merely the past FIVE years — obvious evidence of the dynamic spirit of this eighty-year-old institution. Opened in 19.58, the Student Union Building has since become the center of campus and civic activity. W : ' A tribute to student spirit is the recently lighted cupola atop Elizabeth Hall.

Editor ' s Preface - - - As graduation nears and we finally can no longer look forward to compiling another Hatter, we would like to express particular appreciation to the following people for their invaluable assistance on the past three annuals: Mrs. Marguerite Spivey, former assistant in the News Bureau and now secretary in the President ' s office, for her time and effort in lo- cating photographers, pictures, copy, etc. ; Roger Gilmore, sports editor of the Deland Sun-News, for the many action shots he has given the Hatter; and Dean Etter Turner for her counseling, prodding, direction, and general organization. Although few people have the opportunity to dedicate even one year- book, much less three, everyone must realize the difficulty involved in making such a decision since there are so many worthy subjects connected with the university. Therefore, a new format has been designed to enable us to cite many more than usual. The selections may not seem entirely relevant to the sections they preface in some instances, but they are as closely related as possible. The 1963 Hatter as a whole is dedicated to Dr. William E. Taylor, but special recognition is in order and has been made to these eight worthy teachers, administrators, and friends : DR. ROBERT S. CHAUVIN MISS BARBARA ROWE PROF HAROLD GIFFIN DR. JAMES A. STEWART DR. ELMER PRICHARD CARL DOC JOHNSON DR. JOSEPH SUTTON DR. GENE W. MEDLIN
