foreword HE University of Saslcatchcwan is an achievement ol' which the people of Saskatchewan can he extremely proud. That such an institution has heen developed and maintained hy a relatively small population in a relatively short period of time is certainly a matter of gratification and indeed of congratulation. Having in mind the reasons which stirred people to come to our largely undeveloped province during that period of time it is per- haps quite understandable that a project of this lcind was under- talcen. Those who were responsible for the initiating of such an undertaking had great vision. They must have had great belief in the richness of our resources and in the ahility of our people to develop those resources. Certainly they had great faith in the potential power of the institution they were planning. Has this faith heen justified? Certainly in terms of economic returns the application of research carried on in whole or in part at our University, together with the guidance to many sectors of our economy which has emanated from the University have returned many times the investment ol the people. But must a university justify itself on economic grounds? Or indeed can it? lxlust not the justification rather come from ideals generated. from minds opened. from hopes emhraced, from consciences quiclcened? Youth said an eminent American justice, nhas cast doubts on our policies. challenged our inarticulate major premises, put the light on our prejudices and exposed our inconsistencies. Youth has made each generation indulge in self examination. If experience at our Uni- versity has prepared students and graduates to hetter perform this role then indeed has the faith of the founders, the faithfulness of those who have carried on and the support of the people been justified. lvlay I talfe this opportunity of extending hest wishes to the students and graduates of 1956.
