fwml4e Our Silver Anniversary? Twenty-five years old? Only twenty-five? Why, that is but a tiny span! True, but look at the particular quarter of a century. And look at the setting. Why shouldn't there have been a meteoric rise of a University of Houston? And one must think of this: How old is a uni- versity? As old as its charter, as old as its buildings? As old as its philosophy and policies? Or as old as the sum total of knowledge which its cosmopolitan scholarly faculty imparts? It is, nevertheless, an amazing thing to con- template-this vibrant young University of Hous- ton-its size, its quality, its spirit as it drives confidently into the future. Our Silver Aniversary? Only twenty-:five years old? Yes, but that is but one interesting fact to be observed, a point of time at which to take stock. And we haven,t much time for that. f im PRESIDENT DR. CLANTON W. WILLIAMS

UNIVERS O US TON aeoi CULLEN no ULEVARD HOUSTON 4, TE ITY OF H XAS OFFICE OF THE CHANOELLOR TO THE S A year ago, I noted that 1959 would mark the Silver Anniversary of the University of Houston, and a time in which we must look forward even more to the increasing maturity and stature that is achieved through sound planning and careful follow-through. l The intervening I2 months have seen additional develop- ment in terms of academic strength, student body and faculty accomplishment, and physical growth. All of this makes me even more confident, as the institution actually celebrates its first quarter-century. The next 25 years will, I am certain, frilly justify the faith and confidence that I feel in the past donated accomplishments and future potential of every part of OUI' , 3612 parkwood Drive' Unfvefsffycommunffy- if . ,Q of the Cg1H5e2tZ1Y.Ab, With the ability and initiative so clearly demonstrated by ixiefhereligirlrsity by Mr' faculty, staff, and student body alike, and the growing realiza- tion that this is truly Houston,s university, we cannot fail to continue to move soundly forward.
