%Ti{ivm Tomud This year was the crucial year for UCSB in overall development to full university status; it marked the beginning of a great forward movement toward a great goal. In July of 1961 separate Letters and Science, Engineering, Education, and Graduate colleges were organized. In the College of Letters and Sciences, Spanish acquired departmental status, and other subjects will do so as the faculty increases. Many new classes were offered. New and eminent professors are being attracted to UCSB. Our goal is a sufficiently large teaching staff to keep a small student-to-faculty member ratio. In part this will be done by increasing the number of readers, laboratory instructors, and other non-teaching personnel. Faculty members are receiving more research grants. There is an increased need for funds to support even more research in education, the sciences, and the arts, for interdisciplinary study, and for programs in which students and faculty work together. Many in the present student body are taking part in the beginnings of an Honors program and the Experimental Program — Instructors for Colleges (EPIC). Santa Barbara is the home campus for Education Abroad, now in its first year. Eighty students selected from five University campuses are spending this year in Bordeaux, France. Some students are finding a need to define an Honor Spirit; slowly and subtly this feeling may pervade the campus. The new University Center will provide places for mental stimulation, cultural appreciation, and wholesome recreation, as well as basic services. University status, money for research and scholarships, special education programs, the Honor Spirit, end the University Center are only some of the goals for this campus; all of them emphasize increasing quality with the increasing quantity. A few are distant and hazy; others are clearly outlined. Having a design from which to work, and a foundation on which to build, UCSB is striving for a comprehensive university atmosphere in which students can live and study. 10
