Governor Lauds University For International Program In the past several years Seattle unobtrusively and with quiet confidence has attained maturity as a cosmopolitan city of the world. Among other things, the city now is recognized for her colony of artists and writers, for her symphony orchestra, for scientific achievement in an age of space and, last but not least, as the site of a great University. We who know Seattle intimately realize that a key force in her development has been the University of Washington. The University attracted scholars and students from distant lands and became an international center within the city. But more than that, the University contributed to the lives and cultural knowledge of thousands of local young men and women who went on to become the intellectual leaders in Seattle and many other communities across the nation and around the globe. Each year Seattle will continue to gain as a cosmopolitan center through the association of American and foreign stu- dents and from the accomplishments of University alumni. The TYEE editors this year have seen fit to recognize this continued growth and the University ' s part in it. This recogni- tion assuredly will bring further progress. Albert D. Rosellini Governor of Washington

' ' ideas . . . the common treasury of human thought. frontier school in a remote sawmill town isolated by wilder- ness. We recalled, too, the Alaska-Yukon Exposition of 1909, with its implicit declaration that the frontier had passed be- yond us to the north, that economically and culturally we had entered the national community. Now, the Century 21 World ' s Fair, in name as well as spirit, confirms our participation in the global world. This participation, which is reflected in the international atmos- phere of the University, has been an essential part of the learning experience of the graduating class of 1962. It should enable each graduate to be a better citizen, whatever his nationality. To every graduate, from every nation, on behalf of the University, I extend best wishes. Sincerely, Charles E. Odegaard President

Board of Regents ... a Work of Diligence Board members are Herbert S. Little, Dr. Albert B. Murphy, Harold S. Shefelman, President Joseph Drumheller, Mrs. A. Scott Bullitt, John L. King, and Robert J. Willis. Men of ability and integrity, men with great aims and deter- mination, men willing to work . . . and to work without salary. Such men compose the University of Washington Board of Regents. Outstanding attributes are a necessity to this group of six men and one woman, who are appointed for six-year terms by the state governor. They are responsible for the business operations of the Univer- sity as well as for its academic programs, and devote many hours of their time to committee work outside of the monthly Regents ' meeting. Their approval is necessary for all official actions of the University of Washington. The members of the Board must be free from political pres- sures. They must exercise intellectual freedom. The standards they set affect the future educational opportunities of youth. Their endeavors make this University great. The Regents give freely of their time and knowledge. Their ' s is a work of diligence. 27
