Temple University - Templar Yearbook (Philadelphia, PA)

From the Desk of the President Temple University is part of its community in so many ways. It's as Philadelphian as Fairmount Park, Independence Hall, and the corner of Broad and Chestnut Streets. Push a pin in the map at the city's center of population, and you will miss by only a few blocks the location of the undergraduate schools. Arterial highways coming into Philadelphia from north, west, and south would, if extended, converge at a point not far from Temple's campus. Almost four out of five of our students come from homes in metropolitan Philadelphia, and those who stay to work and live here after graduation are in similar proportion. Thirteen hundred of 1700 Law School alumni whose addresses we know ond 5000 of 7200 School of Business alumni are part of the commercial, industrial, and professional life of Philadelphia. Approximately 75 percent of the teachers in Philadelphia public schools have degrees from Temple. Last year Temple awarded more than 1200 scholarships to high school graduates, and two-thirds of the owords went to boys and girls in the Philadelphia area. Temple makes no claim on Philadelphia's tax dollar, yet it shares the city's fate, be it one of adversity or prosperity. The growth of both the city and the University have been phenomenal in the last 12 years. The birth-place of democracy has become the armorer of democracy and the supplier of peace-time need. As industry reaches out along the Delaware north and south, new streets ore laid, thousands of acres of new homes spring up, young people come of age, and demands on education double and triple. That is the challenge to Temple University. We meet it by adding services and expanding facilities—new curriculums, more ground, more buildings. What Philadelphia requires. Temple provides. You who are being graduated have been part of that challenge for four years. As alumni, you must help us now to shape the answer. Eleven
