XJniversity of ETreLiisville P.O. BOX 329. EVANSVILLE. INDIANA 47701 The University ' s LinC has reached the half century mark, and over the years it has earned our great respect and appreciation. These volumes are a treasury of memories of the college days of the thousands of people who have lived and learned for a time on the University ' s campus. Taken together these volumes in a very special and vital way reveal the history and evolving character of an educational institution. Anniversaries customarily are the occasions for looking forward as well as for reminiscing. Americans have been forward-looking people, uniquely so in the world of peoples. These days looking into the future has lost much of its excitement and bright promise. So many who are doing it today bring us bad tidings and leave us frightened, confused, hopeless. In spite of this pessimism and the enormous difficulty of prediction in fast changing times like these, the view of the decade ahead from the campus of the University of Evansville has, I think, some very good and promising features. During the next ten years the University will develop a variety of learning systems so that each student can have the intellectual environment and learning process which best suits his personality and intellectual style. Tlie curriculum will be more inter-disciplinary, more problem oriented, and to a large extent structured according to the needs, interests, and desires of each student. A much more comprehensive and flexible system of continuing education will be available to people of all ages and of different interests. Education will be considered much more as a lifelong undertaking by our society with people entering and exiting from the University at various times in their lives. Continuing education will accommodate not only those interested in earning associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degress but also those seeking to broaden their intellects, develop and sharpen their skills, and improve their vocational capacities with or without concern for academic credit. Much more attention will be given by the University for knowledge and skills acquired in other places and by other means than those provided by the Uni- versity. Methods will be devised by which such experiences can be evaluated in terms of academic credit. Off campus learning experiences will be built into the formal academic system. Students will have far more responsibility together with freedom to be their own teachers and to teach each other. Faculty members will be able to act more as counselors, resource people, and learning supervisors than is common today. In short, learning will become more exciting, personally meaningful, and socially useful in the future. College yearbooks will probably be issued in looseleaf form in the f iture in order to record significant events m the lives of people who continue to use the University throughout their lives to grow in usef ilness and self -fulfillment . The world with all its threats and problems and all the people in it will certainly be better for all of this. President
