CHANCELLOR T. RAYMOND MCCONNELL Cl1ancellor's Message A university cannot stand still. It either goes forward or it loses stature. The University of Buffalo, with a distinctive record of past accomplishment, looks to the future. lt must not only keep pace with advances in scholarship in many fields, but should also contribute to these developments. lt must meet the needs of young people even more eFfectively than before. And it will face new needs for service to the Niagara Frontier. The University will require more adequate physical facilities-classrooms, offices, and laboratories. The new Medical-Dental building is the first concrete step in this program. A building to house the Physics department and to provide badly needed offices and classrooms for other departments is another phase of plant expansion. The construction of dormitories, which a student-faculty committee helped to plan, waits only on the allocation of steel and other scarce items. Still other structures-a fine arts building, for example -should ultimately appear on the campus. But physical facilities are but one part of a greater University. More endowment and greater annual gifts to augment current income are essential to increase faculty salaries and to enable the University to meet greater educational responsibilities. This is the paramount long-term need. Working together, students, faculty, alumni, Council members and friends of the University will attain these goals.

Since its founding, in l846, the University of Buffalo has been committed to one basic principle-service to the citizens and future citizens of Buffalo and Western New York. Its aim is primarily to train men and women for careers in the cultural, professional, civic, business and industrial life of this area. The University also conducts special programs and services in co- operation with cultural societies, industries, community organi- zations, health agencies and governmental units of this region. Outstanding examples of such services by the University are the University of Buffalo Round Table which is a weekly radio and television program bringing forth discussions on various local, national and international topics and thus adding to the general flow of the world's knowledge, and the Niagara Frontier - -'5i:5:5:5fEiEE5:5:iEEL. dl.7f.,e.. -M.-: -'-'- : -:-:-:- . . , . , r :...:.
