We are a student body of different people and diverse backgrounds. 10,000 strong, we are seeking a goal less tangible, but more meaningful than the diploma which repre- sents the culmination of our academic ef- forts. Although many are natives of other states, we will hold the Commonwealth, and in particular Lexington, in warm esteem. An ROTC color guard leads one of the parades that are an integral part of the military science program. Students find a further chance for self-ex pression in programs outside the curricu lum.

Since the original land grant, the campus has grown into a complex of sidewalks and build- ings. Pioneers in the growth of the modern University realized that UK and the Commonwealth must grow together if either was to keep pace with our grow- ing nation. Today a network of centers is enlarging the educational facilities of the University. The Agricultural Exten- sion Service guides the states farmers. Research facilities contribute to indus- trial expansion and development. Cumberland Gap, historic gatev 15. to the NX'est, offered passage through the Al legheny Mountains for early Kentucky settlers.
