RAY OLPIN With the continued growth of the University of Utah, the re- sponsibilities of its president vary. Problems which confronted the predecessors of Dr. A. Ray Olpin now seem remote and unrelated to the University in 1961. Maintaining sufficient en- rollment and funds necessary to the operation of a university were the major worries of the first president. Today, President A. Ray Olpin encounters a different challenge. The responsibility of offering to the individual that education which will best help him become an integrated part of his community, socially and economically, has gained importance with the growing emphasis on specialization. Increased demands for technical and scientific leaders contribute additional responsibilities. With an awareness of these duties, keeping ever alert to progress, President Olpin has filled his ofhce for the year '60 361.
