To the Class of 1968: It is with special pleasure that ! extend best wishes and congratulations to the Class of 1969, the first senior class of my tenure as President of the University. College students today have been characterized as belong- ing to the concerned generation. This generation is con- cerned with slums, racial discrimination, war and all social and political injustice. It is concerned about the impersonaliza- tion of life in our culture and the gap between moral, intellec- tual and esthetic ideals and daily practice. Members of the Class of 1869 will have an opportunity in their life's work to do something about these concerns. It is my earnest hope that the Class of 1969 will have fewer of these same concerns owing to the progress made by the endeavors of the Class of 1969. There is an opportunity as well as an obligation for the college educated person to assume positions of leadership and responsibility in developing a better society. I have confi- dence that members of the Class of 1969 from the University of Delaware will be prominent in these efforts, G Fnbend

I'm not an engineerand I don't say this with pride or with regret . . . 1 am looking forward to working with the students and the faculty and to creating and even greater University of Delaware . . . Students consider their academic work as being of secondary importance to being a part of the world, state or community . . . Young people today are grasping for answersI'm going to try to help them find some of these answers. -Edward Arthur Trabant Concern for a university community entails more than archi- tectural planning, academic stimulation and persuasive sales- manship. A mere superficial acquaintance with student per- sonalities provides little insight for the perceptive, dynamic decisions that a capable administrator must effect. Dr. Ed- ward Arthur Trabant, the 22nd President of the University of Delaware, has shown that he possesses the ideas, capabilities and desires to lead a progressive educational institution, Dr. Trabant has been a mathematics professor, a nuclear lab director, an engineering dean and a vice-president of aca- demic affairs. Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi and Omicrom Delta Kappa have honored him for outstanding scholarship, leader- ship and character. He has gained experience in many parts of the nation by serving in academic capacities at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California Institute of Technology, Purdue, State University of New York in Buffalo and Georgia Institute of Technology. Extensive communication in a community atmosphere is necessary for constructive, productive relationships among students, professors and administrators, Through his partici- pation and encouragement in the Split Rock conference, the Student Rights' proposal, various dormitory discussions and even student social events, President Trabant has gained the confidence and respect of Delaware students. Students recog- nize Dr. Trabant's future potential as President of the Univer- sity and share his vision of an academic community where all persons, no matter what their perceived role or actual posi- tion, may participate in effecting constructive changes in uni- versity policy. With great pride and admiration, the Blue Hen staff dedi- cates the 1968 Blue Hen to President Edward Arthur Trabant.
