President C. E. Brehm iiThe good education of youth has been esteemed by wise men in all ages as the surest foundation of the happiness both of private families and 0f eommonwealthsf7 said Benj- amin Franklin. For one hundred and sixty-three years The University of Tennessee and its predecessors, Blount College and East Tennessee College, have been endeavoring to give youth educa- tion for the careers they choose, and the associations and environment that fit them for useful and constructive citizenship. At no time in the history of The University of Tennessee have there been more dynamic and challenging opportunities for youth than exist in the present and in the years ahead. For the University as a whole, the year 1958 has been significant in its history. Enroll. ments have reached their highest levels; the physical plant has been greatly expanded, and many additional courses have been added to the curricula. The VOLUNTEER is a valued and historic publication. It records pictorially from year to year the people who are members of the University community, students, faculty, admin- istrative and maintenance personnelgtheir activities, associations both in the classroom, on the campus, in the Fraternities, Sororities, the Center and other places where people congregate. It is a publication that becomes more cherished as the years pass in bringing to mind pleasant and happy memories. The Board of Trustees, Administration and Faculties are proud of our students. They commend and congratulate the editorial staff of the VOLUNTEER for the unusually fine way they have portrayed people of the University and their activities in the 1958 VOLUNTEER. C. E.
