Our wish for everyone of you is that you have attained the finished pro- duct as set forth by the Palladium Staff in this Annual for these principles for teaching are splendid principles for all human rela- tionships. We are proud that this is the basis on which our program at Troy is built. It is just as important for us all to realize that one ' s Edu- cation is never, finished, only courses are completed. To you who go your separate ways, and to all of us who remain on college campuses, our hope is that we shall all strive to become more nearly the finished product by continuing our Education with minds alert and hearts open to receive all that is new and profitable to us and our fellowmen. Very sincerely, Dean of Students.

STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE FOUNDED 1887 TROY, ALABAMA Dear Seniors of 1951: You are fortunate in being able to join the parade of educational progress at so opportune a time. In many respects the present century has witnessed more progress in education than did any other period in the past five thousand years of the history of civilization. I refer especially to progress in literacy, citizenship, and economic well-being. Today there is more literacy than ever before. Wherever we go, people can read, people of all races and all socio-econcmic levels. Literacy — a high level of literacy — is taken for granted. In the area of citizenship education we are making progress. At the local level we find education to be the means whereby the individual becomes better able to serve his community rather than to exploit his neighbors. At the world level, the best minds are endeavoring to develop a workable system for all citizens of the world. Today education is a means of making available to mankind the higest standard of living ever known. Education produces our scientists, tech- nicians, industrialists, and business men; education also makes better consumers out of citizens in general. Thus, the three areas of literacy, citizenship, and economic well- being exemplify the progress of education in our time. G. R.Boyd Dean
