OFFICE or THE PRBBIOENT WISCONSIN STATE COLLEGE RIVER FALLS. WISCONSIN Students of Wisconsin State College River Palls, Wisconsin Dear Students: In one sense Shadows, the these of this year's Meletean, seems to be a rather foreboding and ominous one. And perhaps, in a symbolic way, it is appropriate for our age. Certainly the shadows of mushroom clouds, of missiles, and of satellites heng over us. But there are shadows only when there is also light. These shadows which sometimes frighten us are cast by the light of men's knowledge. And the light can move and spread and cause the shadows to assume new and more pleasant forms. The real reason for the existence of this and other colleges is to keep that light burning and spreading. During its fourscore and seven years, the College at River Falls has been a source of opportunity to many who might not otherwise have been able to avail themselves of the light of higher education. And its graduates have reflected this light throughout the nation and, Indeed, throughout the world. In an age of technology and complexity, the need for this light has never been greater than it is today. The kind of education River Falls offers, with a balance between specialization and a breadth of knowledge, is more important now than ever before and will become increasingly important in the future. With continued student, alumni and faculty support, the College is making plans now to move confidently into a future of growing light and greater service. Sincerely yours. EHK:lo B. H. Kleinpell, President
