PRESIDENT As another year in the Hfe of the University draws to a close, we think first of the members of the graduating classes, and extend to them our sincere congratulations on their achievement, and cordial good wishes for success and happiness in their future undertakings. We hope that you graduates of 1963 have found intellectual challenge in your studies here, satisfying associations and lasting friendships among your colleagues, and the conviction that the education you have obtained here, and the even greater education which lies ahead of you in the years to come, will be the largest single factor in the making of your lives in accordance with your best desires. This has indeed been a year of continued achievement. The great physical growth of the University on two campuses has been accelerated, and many new buildings and new facilities have been provided. But, important as this growth has been, much more important are our continued strides toward excellence and intellectual maturity, as more Ph.D. programs have come into operation, the Honors Program moves for- ward, higher academic standards are developed, in- creasing emphasis is placed on research — the catalyst of good teaching and new knowledge — and a new seriousness of purpose motivates our thinking. It is important and especially gratifying to note that the initiative for the development of our new improved academic standards of admission and scholastic progress came from the students themselves, through the ASUN Senate. Similarly, students have provided leadership in developing our new expanded foreign student program, in bringing distinguished speakers on subjects of na- tional importance to the campus, and in many other ways fostering and stimulating our progress toward excellence. Without such student participation and leadership, this progress would have been impossible. We may all, students and faculty alike, take pride in what has been done this year; but more importantly, we must renew our resolve and our conviction that the challenges of the future will yield only to our common efforts in the spirit of mutual purpose which we have already so well achieved.

GOVERNOR Governor Grant Sawyer Our University of Nevada graduates of the ' 60s will be starting their careers in an era of unprecedented growth and prosperity, during which the state has leaped to a position of leadership in many phases of economic activity. Today, Nevada is the fastest growing state in the nation and its citizens, enjoying record levels of employment, have the highest per capita income in the country. American industry is relocating in Nevada, helping to diversify our economy. The state has become a major space age testing center and it appears likely the first spaceship to the moon will be powered by a nuclear engine developed in the Nevada desert. All this, of course, brings with it new challenges and we find the answers of yesterday are not sufficient for the questions of today. I am proud of the University of Nevada for helping to shape young men and women equipped with the ability, determination and thirst for knowledge that are necessary if we are to keep Nevada moving ahead in the years to come. Grant Sawyer, Governor 12
