111an 97mm The Pioneer State College has four significant characteristics-a comprehensive curriculum, high scholastic standards, excellence of in- struction, and friendly relations between faculty and students. The suc- cess of a school year can be measured by growth in these significant characteristics. Thus, we need to seek evidence of this growth to eval- uate 1960-61. Few colleges can emulate our broad offerings in teacher education, arts and sciences, and technology, and this breadth has been expanded. An increase in academic requirements for admission and retention sup- plemented by national recognition by Phi Eta Sigma have added to our scholastic stature. Improvement of instruction has been a continuing objective with both student and faculty participation, and Platteville has been blessed With dedicated teachers since its inception in 1866. One only needs to walk about the campus to receive evidence that the tradi- tion of a iifriendly collegeii is being maintained. We are grateful for having had the class of 1961 in our midst and for their significant achievements. We predict pride in their future ful- fillment and Wish them Godspeed in their desire to use their prepara- tions and talents to serve their fellow men. B jarne R. Ullsvik President 23
