MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT The University of Alberta in Calgary is entering upon a new stage in its development. The City of Calgary has made available to the Uni¬ versity a spacious and attractive site; and plans for the development of the site are in progress. Facilities on the North Hill have become increasingly cramped, as student numbers and the courses offered in Calgary have expanded. How¬ ever, due to the devotion of the staff and the spirit of the students the quality of the academic work has been maintained, and there has been evidence of active participation of students in extra curricular activities. We hope that the students enrolled during the years of growth and transition will have pleasant recollections of their association with the Uni¬ versity of Alberta in Calgary in its infant days.

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR The year 1957-58 is a key or pivotal academic year for the Univer¬ sity of Alberta in Calgary. For this year, we shall witness sod-turning and ground-levelling of our new site on the Banff Trail preparatory to a full building programme in 1959 and hoped for occupancy of buildings in the fall of 1960. Such are present predictions. In the meantime we remain the welcome guests of the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art on their campus which “houses the South¬ ern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. I wish to thank the staff of the Univer¬ sity in Edmonton, the staff of the University in Calgary, the staff of the Institute at Tech., and the staff members of the Students ' Council for the fine co-operation I have received this year from all quarters. To Malcolm Bush, President of the Students ' Union, and to his co-workers on Council, I say simply, You have done all things well. To the future: it is my hope that no bright, ambitious, scholastically - minded boy or girl will be deprived of a continuing education, and that this will be true not only in Alberta, but in our total Western democracy. Our intellectual capital must be recruited, and encouraged to enter our University faculties. Such capabilities must never be lost to our atomic age of advanced technology and rapid industrial progress.
