DR. DOMENIC R. PROCOPIO TO THE CLASS OF 1958 In the last few years, expansion on all school levels has been and still is a very serious problem to all associated with education. A partial solution has resulted in more buildings, equipment, administrative personnel, and teachers to handle the growing classes. Such physical expansion must increase to a much greater degree in the immediate future. Thus, the theme of your Knoll is a most timely one. It is my sincere hope that all this evidence stressing the importance of the quantitative elements of expansion does not blind you to the equally important qualitative aspects. In fact, the greater the quantitative needs of the whole, the easier it is to neglect the qualitative needs of the individual. Internal growth within the student must go on as it always has when physical expansion was not so pressing. For your own development, this means that you must continue your studies on the graduate level, travel widely to encompass the results of the many educational experiments now in progress, and profit from varied educational experiences. The total of these, when integrated within yourselves, will make you more capable of assuming an objective approach to the quantitative factors of expansion. Best of all, your own self-expansion, so to speak, will make you increasingly aware of the special needs of the individual, resulting in your constant efforts to balance the quantitative and qualitative aspects of expansion.
