Declicouti n The Redwood 1961 looks to the future and honors those men who plan the development of the University. With the growth of the Santa Clara Valley and the opening of co-education, a com- prehensive blueprint for the next fifteen years has been projected. In 1976, Mission Santa Clara will be on the eve of its second cen- tennial while the University will have reached its one hundred and twenty-fifth milestone. Balancing the Federal survey of the area with other known data, the University expects to double its present size in the period. This Mission '76 expansion calls for an investment in excess of eleven million dollars in buildings alone. This past year has seen the dedication of the first of these new buildings-the George L. Sullivan Engineering Center. Two more-the new five story Residence Hall and the Student Center and Commons-are under construction. Next on schedule are a new library, an annex to the School of Law and one to the Alumni Science Hall. A gymnasium and a theatre-arts building are also in the plans, plus further hous- ing for married students. Artist sketches of several of these build- ings appear throughout the Redwood. Mission '76 is a bold adventure. We salute Father President with his Board of Trustees and Regents as well as the Alumni who will translate this vision into reality for the Broncos of to- day and tomorrow.

He was awarded his doc- torate from the University of California in 1951. Besides being an avid student of California history, Dr. Beilharz is also the Director of the Division of Social Studies in the College of Arts and Sci- ences. Joseph F. Deck, Ph.D. Edwin A. Beilharz, Ph D Stalking the chemistry labs in white coat, his briar pipe jutting from clenched teeth, Dr. Deck is another fervent work- er for the cause of knowledge. He took his basic degrees from St. Louis Univer- sity and his doctorate from the Univer- sity of Kansas in 1932. This zealous pro- fessor has invested his time and wisdom in the students of the University contin- uously since 1936. Today's Broncos know they are echo- ing the gratitude of thousands of alumni in honoring these four men for their long and generous labor.
