President Armstrong As another year in the life of the University draws to a close, it is worthwhile to pause for a moment to look back to what has been achieved. For many students, this year has seen the fruition fo their ef- forts tocompleteaneducation which will fit them for their chosen careers. To them, the members of the graduating classes, we ex- tend our congratulations and best wishes for the future, and hope that this has been their most meaningful year to date. For the rest of us in the University, students, faculty and ad- ministration, this, too, has been a year in which many things have been accomplished. We have seen a new spirit of seriousness of purpose grow within the University community, a new accent upon excellence as Honors and Ph.D programs have developed, along with the new emphasis upon advanced research in all fields. Student government and student organizations have worked constructively in a growing spirit of responsibility, and the phys- ical growth of the campus has continued. The solid material progress of this year, and, above all, the developing spirit of purpose and direction within our community, give us a sound basis of assurance that the University will meas- ure up to the challenge of the sixties and that we can look to the years ahead with confidence. Charles J. Armstrong President 13 : fl

coiri Governor Grant Sawyer I voice the pride of all Nevadans in the splendid growth and progress of the University of Nevada. Having been a former student and former regent, I have for years taken a keen interest in our University. Our hopeful expectations of what would be accomplished under the leadership of Dr. Charles J. Armstrong have been more than fulfilled. Not only has the University gained in stature throughout the academic and scientific world during the past several years, but its worth has been recognized by the federal government as worthy of grants for specific purposes of national value. The physical plants in Reno and Las Vegas have been expanded and modernized. The many new buildings are a tribute to any campus. While great credit properly belongs to President Armstrong and the faculty, we should not overlook the wonderful contribution made by the regents. Their splendid interest and efforts, untiring and unselfish work, and fine support of the President ' s program have resulted in this greater and better institution of learning. The University of Nevada has significantly increased its value to the whole state while providing on its two campuses an outstanding academic atmosphere. It has truly given a great impetus to the scientific, cultural, and intellectual life of the state through its expanded programs. To the University students are being given the torch of freedom, a realization of the paramount value of democracy, freedom and an informed citizenry, and the opportunity to meet the challenge of today ' s world. I hove implicit faith that you students will face the future well pre- pared for whatever may lie ahead of us in this challenging world. To the members of this year ' s graduating class, my hearty congratu- lations on what you have accomplished, and my best wishes to all stu- dents for continued endeavor and success. Grant Sawyer, Governor 12
