guiding tl To the Students and Alumni: The challenge is ours — both as a State and as individuals — to meet the demands of scientific progress, and preparedness to adjust and cope with the rapid advancement in technical as well as social fields of endeavor. A good education is no longer enough. The age we live in today is a time demanding specialized training, and will become more so. We are proud of the University of Nevada, of its graduates and its students, yet in acknowledging that pride we must also realize that the University must not become static, but meet the challenge that is here today and in the future.

It is ironic that in the present welter of inter- national events one isolated act, the launching of the first satellite into space, could so awaken America to an awareness of our educational shortcomings. But awaken us it did, to a fact educational leaders have been warning about for years — that we as a nation may be falling behind in key areas of learning. The warning had further and far- reaching implications for the role we must play in world leadership. The launching of the satellite touched off what may become a new era in American education. The cry for increased instructional facilities, higher faculty salaries, and intensified research programs has assumed national proportions. The results of this renewed interest in the quality of education are inevitable. For democ- racy, as contrasted to totalitarianism, makes pos- sible through continued learning the discovery of extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people. Here, then is a task for education. To this we may freely dedicate our best efforts. With your good help, our nation shall not fall behind in so worthy a cause. William R. Wood, Acting President. bhe university
