ACCEN T ON LEARNIN G A university is a place in which new knowledge is sought through con- tinuous research and scholarship, knowledge is preserved through libraries, galleries and museums, and all knowledge is spread through teaching and publication. The Uni- versity of South Florida is such a place. The university, while a center for research and scholarship, is more importantly a medium for teaching and learning. It gives its students the closest possible approximations of truth and helps them evolve even newer elements of truth for them- selves. The clearest symbol of the university is the image of a devoted scholar helping students achieve in- sight into the nature of human existence. The university is also a servant of the society which supports it. it is the means by which the highest ideals, the most profound wisdom and the essential spirit of a society is passed on to new generations of young people. Through it society identifies and develops its future leaders. it also provides the intellectual resources with which certain problems of society can be studied and ultimately solved. The University of South Florida is a uni- versity in all these aspects. It deals with subjects at a higher level than is true of high schools or other forms 20 Administra tion of education. It emphasizes teaching and learning and it sees itselfas a ser- vant but also a leader in its com- munity, state, region and nation. It seeks to realize its stature as a uni- versity through striving to achieve several broad objectives. The University tries to achieve these broad purposes by specific emphases in its program. It insists that all students have the oppor- tunity to gain a liberal or general education. page 20: ABOVE Bob Graham, Governor of Florida.
