The highest honor the Associated Students can confer on on individual is to dedicate the Annual to that person. This year, because of the men in question, specifically, their contribu- tions to the University and to this college, the Associated Students dedicate the 1958 La Cum- bre to former President Robert Gordon Sproul and new President Clark Kerr. Dr. Sproul has headed the University he graduated from for over twenty-five years. While he is receding into the past, he will be remembered for his frequent appearances on this campus, greeting the incoming students, and his casual informal manner. Dr. Sproul has been a man who commanded respect as well as friendship. Those who have had an ac- quaintance with him will long remember him, and those who know only of his accomplish- ments will long respect him. President Sproul has guided the course of the University and its eight component campuses on the principle of home rule to insure ade- quate educational service for an entire state. Each campus has developed the freedom of a separate institution and the pride and facilities of a multi-million dollar organization. President Sproul has tried to direct the Uni- versity along the lines of three objectives: the production of a cultural foundation for the com- munity, the development of a civic responsibil- ity, and the acquisition of specific vocational and professional skills. After twenty-eight years of outstanding leadership, Robert Sproul is retiring. He has done his job well.
