THE GOVERNOR a HONORABLE FRANK G. CLEMENT T0 the Students: The face and the tempo of Tennessee are rapidly changing. Nothing better illustrates this fact than the recent introduc- tion into the curriculum at the University of Tennessee of a course in nuclear engineering. Our population is rapidly expanding and shifting. New industries in ever-increasing numbers are finding permanent homes within the borders of our state, New social problems are confronting us, and we are learning to deal with old human problems, such as mental illness, in new and more ef- fective ways. It is reassuring to know that as these new problems con- front us, our own abundant university is training our citizens to solve the problems; to give direction to the exciting new resources that are coming within our command. The extent to which Tennessee participates in the dynamic Changes of our time will be largely in your hands. As chair- man of your Board of Trustees7 as Governor of the State you serve, and simply as a citizen not too far removed from your own generation, I strongly share the confidence of your par- ents and your teachers in the manner in which you will dis- charge this trust. AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES THE HONORABLE FRANK G. CLEMENT THE HONORABLE QUILL E. COPE THE HONORABLE BUFORD ELLINCTON MR. FRANK R. AHLGREN MR. CLYDE B. AUSTIN MR. ALVIN G. BEAMAN MR. W. P. COOPER MR.

PRESIDENT C. E. BREHM JAMES HOSKINS President Emeritus THE VOLUNTEER in many respects is an historic annual publication. It graphically portrays the year,s activities of the men and women stu- dents and the faculty that comprise The University of Tennessee com- munlty. It is a publication that records pietorially the people who are members of the University community during the year, and their relationships and associatiOHSememories that become more precious over the years, and remain long after individuals have left ttThe Hill? Significant changes are taking place in the Universityeenrollments are increasing rapidly, the expansion of the campus to accommodate greater numbers of students; and the addition and adjustment of curri- cula to meet economic and social changes. The year 1956-1957 has brought about many of these changes. The University of Tennessee is a fine institution, with a fine faculty and a fine student body, which are the forces that make a great educa- tional institution. The Universitfs academic standing is such throughout the nation that our alumni can always be proud of their associations at The University of Tennessee. The editorial staff of THE VOLUNTEER are to be commended and con- gratulated 0n the fine job they have done in portraying the University activities in the 1957 VOLUNTEER.
