Sumwalt Leads University ' s Proposed Expansion TO THE STUDENTS OF CAROLINA: This is truly a wonderful age in which to acquire an education and begin a career. The decade of the ' 60s will bring challenges and opportunities unequalled in the history of mankind. We must be prepared for whatever contingencies may arise. In my 34 years at the University, no student body has shown more promise of success than that of 1960- 61. Your diligence, sincerity, and enthusiasm are inspiring. You have seen the physical progress the University is making for the future. I hope you also recognize the less spectacular, but more important, progress Carolina is making toward realization of its high academic goals. Every passing year should give you additional reason to say with enthusiasm, Carolina is MY Alma Mater. This year ' s graduates will leave a lasting imprint on the University. We ardently hope that wherever you go and whatever you do, you will take the University with you and that you will reflect credit on the institu- tion which nurtured you. Sincerely yours, ROBERT L. SUMWALT, President. DR. ROBERT L.
