PRESIDENT 1i- (f Traditionally, El Rancho has presented at the opening of its section devoted to Administration a letter irom the A I president to the student body — a letter designed to inspire students to strive toward ever higher goals. This year, however, it is our thought that this purpose may be served by a glance at what the Administration has done for A I. Outstanding dedicated accomplishment is itself inspirational. All men can have dreams, but in- spired men with the will to work turn their dreams into realities. A I has been fortunate through the years in having a succession of such men and women guiding its destinies. Physical development of the College in the last few years is a major testi- monial of the vision and hard work of President E. H. Poteet, his predecessor Dr. E. N. Jones, members of the Board of Directors, faculty members, and others devoted to building a greater A I. Other administrative work, however, presents problems just as difficult as those of development. Solution of these problems leaves no landmark other than continued steady progress of the enterprise. It is characteristic of A6cl that while these problems were being dealt with successfully new honors were being attained as evidence of standards of scholarship in the college. It is not our major purpose here to eulogize but simply to point to a job well done in the thought that as stu- dents we can ask no better example or inspiration. Dr. Poteet is shown above in his office, and to the left as he stands before A I ' s new administration building and library — College Hall. ■ •: -.;iT--| j;.
