PRESIDENTS MESSAGE So many members of the Class of 1955 have voiced to me in the last year so similar a complaint that I fear you are sharing a common grievance. As you have put it up to me, you are victims of an unkind fate in that Temple University is at last getting its undergraduate building and expansion program underway at the very moment you are ending your careers on this campus. I know how you must feel. I, too, wish we could have launched this program many years ago. As students, you will not hear the lectures of professors in the new 1 classroom building, you will not share dining room and recreation facilities in the new dormitories, you will not enjoy the use of playing fields that some day will replace the row houses and crowded areas east of Park Avenue. But you will have your memories of this University as it is one of the great institutions of America, almost unique in its way. And you will have also the next best thing, the opportunity to help provide for the students who are coming after you the greater university that will surely be theirs. The dream we have all had so long is coming true, but it will materialize little by little. In this lies your chance to be, if you will, one of its builders. Nothing is ever quite so real or so important to you as the thing you yourself have helped bring into being. I, therefore, invite you to share with us the pleasure of giving to generations on the way the physical University that we wanted so much for you and those who went before you. President Thirteen
