t fye Jfrale txi xsronstn WISCONSIN STATE COLLEGE OSHKOSH. WISCONSIN Greetings: The Wisconsin State College at Oshkosh, like the individual, is the product of that which has gone before. This college as we know it today has been shaped by the students, faculty, and all of those who have been a part of its history. This college has, over a period of ninety years, been modified to meet the demands of the time and the needs of its students. Beginning as a normal school, it was one of the first teachers colleges to be fully accredited as a degree granting institution by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Today, as a multipurpose institution, it has continued to strengthen its program for the preparation of teachers and simultaneously it has increased its offering and enrollment in the liberal arts and preprofessional fields. As this is being written, work has begun on the new library, the building of two new dormitories is scheduled to begin within a few weeks, and the architects and a faculty committee are hard at work on the plans for a new science building to be completed in 1963. We shall continue to face new challenges, new demands, and ever increasing expectations. Progress makes its own demands, especially upon education. New programs will need to be developed and old ones improved. There are new horizons which will demand the best that is in each of us, but having made the demands, these same horizons may show us the way to a better tomorrow. It is our hope that this college will continue to attract able sincere students and dedicated teachers. It is also our hope that on this campus individuals will find a climate conducive to the development of the individual’s intellectual, moral, and cultural potentialities. To this end we shall dedicate our efforts. President
