M Man MuAt Know. rr Those words of beloved poet Carl Sandburg, spoken last year at the University of Nevada commencement, should be our guide for the future. We leave a decade when to call a man an egghead was to insult him, when many suspected intellectual excellence, when education was woefully neglected, when an instructor risked the epithet of subversive when he dared voice an original thought. We enter the decade of the 60 ' s, where the threat of an alien ideology, emphasized by foreign successes in rocketry, has restored education to its rightful place of prominence in the American way of life. The flash of the Sputnik has America more fully aware of the value of higher education. Our citizens realize the achievements of tomorrow are based on the schooling of today. Nevadans are pleased with their University, its repu- tation and progress. The past several months have seen a giant facelifting of a proud old institution on the Reno campus, as thou- sands of dollars have been spent for expansion. At the branch campus in Las Vegas, a massive building program continues, transforming what was once a barren desert into an attractive, bustling center of education. The University of Nevada faces the future with a sparkling new appearance. We are proud of this new look , which reflects the great economic and population expansion of the state. We are also proud of the modern spirit of freedom of academic thought, which has made much of this transformation possible. The demand for higher learning becomes annually greater. I am certain our citizens, our lawmakers and our educators will continue to work together to insure Nevada meets that demand. GRANT SAWYER Governor of the State of Nevada
