ELDON L. JOHNSON President fpreriiclenf it 86661.98 EXTEND my sincere best wishes to the Class of 1961. The University which you leave this year is in many ways quite diHer- ent from that which you entered four years ago. You have seen the fulfill- ment of a long-time vision as the College Brook ravine has been trans- formed from a virtual iungle into a park, ringed by new buildings. You have experienced the pleasures and benefits which flow from learning in new surroundings, in modern, well equipped studios, laboratories, and library. You have participated in such experiments in teaching as langu- age laboratories and television classes. Like the campus itselt, you have also changed in the last few years. Your intellectual horizons have broadened, both through the classroom and through your association with some of the world's leading statesmen, scientists, artists, and men of letters. Your tastes and values have changed - we hope forthe higher and better. These have been exciting years, both in your own lite and in the Uni- versity's history. We trust that as you leave, you will do so with a sense of pride that will remain and grow throughout the years that lie ahead. l ELDON L. JOHNSON l5
