All too often, particularly in s, a man's abundant contributions may be forgotten, buried ay be the man himself, in heaps of verbal degradation. Many leaders are able to weather such oratorical storms in strong and competent fashion: one such man is The University of Akronfs tenth president: rman P 4uburn. Among those accomplishments which stand above criticism, several deserve mention here. Since President Auburn's first year in office, n l95l, twenty-one new buildings have been erected on campus for our benefi t, at a cost of' nearly S117 million. Enrollment has increased rom 3,673 students in 1951 to over ld, OOO last year. Our libraries ave been expanded by 310,000 volumes. In order to perpetuate the growth of education in parallel with student enrollment, the full-time faculty has grown in number from 148 to 69a during the Auburn years. And even more important to the pursuit of a decent education, the number of faculty members holding a doctorate degree has multiplied nearly six-fold in the last twenty years. But the achievement in which President Auburn holds perhaps the greatest pride is the enlargement of the graduate studies pro the University. Last year, the funds allocated to the put Akron University third in the state of Ohi nation. There can be and much of who ate School 35th in the t that the college owes most of its growth xcellence of its educational standards to the man guided the helm of The University of Akron through the st two decades. He will not be forgotten. kdth our gratitude and respect for a dedicated man, Thomas L. Meyer fEdltOPj Darryl H. Fieldmfin Ning. Ed.J
