PRESIDENT RICHARD A. HARVILL I am pleased to extend hearty congratulations and warm greetings to seniors and other students who receive degrees in 1963. Your yearbook, the DESERT, contains much of the history of your class and records many scenes and events that occurred at the University which will always bring pleasant memories to you. The years that you have spent at the University will become more or less meaningful in the future, depending upon your own aspirations and endeavors. Education is always unfinished business. Changes in science and technology, in political systems, in the economic and social order and the increase in population are all inter-related elements of contemporary civilization. Transformations occurring in all countries of the world require much more than casual interest of citizens in a free society. For their understanding and resolution they require alert awareness and demand diligent study. Men and women of the University of Arizona are found in all parts of the world. They are assuming roles of leadership in every facet of human endeavor, and they are meeting the challenges that are presented by these unprecedented changes in a most exemplary way. I am confident than you who have just completed a phase of your educational endeavor will continue your educational experience in various ways and will add additional luster to the record of Arizona Alumni. Richard A. Harvill
