trdalus, the architect of the famed Labyrinth for the Minotaur of Crete, was imprisoned 'ey King Minos as punishment for revealing the structures’ secret to the Athenians. To escape. Oaedalus and his son, Icarus, made a pair of rings duplicating the flight of birds. As they mt them on. Daedalus warned Icarus to keep a n ill die course over the sea. If he flew too high, ir said, the sun might melt the glue and the rings drop off. Soon the two men set upon their light; tut disregarding his fathers warning, and I lowing his new and wonderful power to go to iis head. Icarus soared up, higher and higher. 7oolishly. he payed no heed to Daedalus’ an-’wished commands until he dropped helplessly nto the sea. his wings melted from the sun’s teat. Daedalus reached safely in near-by Sicily. How depressing it was for students attending tire l nivcrsity ol Wisconsin-Milwaukee four years ago. to be a part of an institution which seemingly existed as a dead weight, so never any different. No changes, at least measurable to our eyes, gave us any clue that the school was growing any way but in enrollment numlxTs. VVc were hunting at our scams: faculty members stacked into small cubicles, no room for classes, erosvdcd dingy cafeterias, a library packed with students, and barely passable corridors. And then, suddenly, with little seaming, new buildings began appearing. Epsash ball ook some of the spill over of heavily scheduled classes, the science building sprang up in one short year. Today. Pierce and Garland halls have been assimilated into the university, a fine arts building is finished, and the Union expansion is now in progress. But it seems that our view was misleading: these buildings did not appear overnight as if by magic, nor were plans hastily introduces! and accepted. 5

0 During the period of planning, when progress appeared to level off to us. ideas were being formulated which would change the whole concept of the university's existence. We were becoming an urban university introducing far-reaching and significant ramifications. There is an important lesson in the Greek legend of Daedalus and Iranis told above, one which students on ibis campus should accept. Our flight, the change from a small college concept to that of a strong urban university, demands careful prodding, a middle course trail and pace. The concept, process and conduct of education is a vital element to even- man, community. and country, too significant to be hastily or recklessly guided. Unlike Icarus, we move cautiously, careful not to throw ourselves into the sea or in our ease the vast body of mediocrity. Like Daedalus we move swiftly toward our goai: unlike him. we can never completely reach this because there is always another farther reaching one to take its place even bforjwe achieve the first. Education is a continuous process measured by the quality and success of our flight and by the distance we gain. Only upon realizing this can we appreciate the cautiousness of those who govern our growth. To sas we have and are growing only physically would indeed be a grave error; our curriculum has been expanded, varied programs broadened ami revitalized, and most important of all our students somehow been injected with a greater sense of responsibility toward themselves and their education. Our graduate program has been expanded in many fields including advance studies now offered in English and history; the education graduate studies have been expanded, while others have either been revitalized or are in the process of lie-coming realities. Similarly, the effective night school program has bbeen developed to better serve the community through advance formal training in both cultural and academic fields.
