GOVERNOR ' S DAY dp 3 F I P Dear Students and Faculty: The University of Alaska is an institution of special significance to me and to all Alaskans. It is one of the basic forces that has helped to make Alaska the great land it is today, and I am confident that the knowledge generated here will be an even greater force molding Alaska ' s future. The year 1967 is a landmark for the 49th State, not just because it is our Purchase Centennial year, but also because it marks the Golden Anniversary of our state university, which came into existence 50 years ago as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. As Alaska has grown, so has the Universit y which bears its name— first, by adding courses, and then whole colleges, in order to better educate the young men and women of the state. These young people have been a constant source of progress in the state of Alaska. Besides its valuable work of producing the young Alaskans who play a vital role in the development of our state, the university performs another important function—that of research. Located farther north than any other institute of higher learning in the world, the University of Alaska is in an environment unique among all universities and colleges. It is in a natural position, therefore, to lead the way in Arctic development through research. Our Arctic regions are vast and full of potential riches which lie waiting to be developed. By finding the keys to their development, through research, not only Alaska but the entire world will profit. Through its research in such fields as arctic mining, agriculture, fishing, and the study of ethnic groups, the University of Alaska can command attention from all the world. It has the opportunity to become one of the great universities of our time— and we would have it be just that. Walter J. Hickel Governor of Alaska
