UN IVERSITY OF Vl RCINIA CHARLOTTESVI LLE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT To the Members of the Class of 1962: I hOpe that this 1962. edition of Corks and Curls will serve you as a useful, accurate, and happy reminder of your days in the University of Virginia, which I am confident you will constantly cherish and to which I hope you will return often' during your progress through life. A university is the most complex educational institution evolved by modern man. It is a community of scholars where able teachers and students in various fields of learning have an opportunity to benefit from a mutual exchange of ideas while in- creasing their competence in a particular discipline. A university is distinguished from a college by the professional and graduate schools which it embraces in addition to its undergraduate college or colleges. A university offers instruction of superior quality to undergraduates in arts and sciences and in certain professions; but it is definitively the institution where advanced training and research in the arts, sciences, and professions can be pursued to the fullest extent possible by man. The University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson, fulfills these general purposes of a university, and in the South it has historically had a special additional mission of service. It was Mr. Jefferson's aim that this University should be unique and that it should be a beacon light of excellence to guide the region and the nation. This will always be our aim. You have been privileged to receive your education where the Rotunda and the Lawn are ever-present reminders of the qualities of scholarship, responsibility, honor, and gentlemanly conduct, which are the traditional values fostered by Mr. Jefferson and the University of Virginia. The faculty have been privileged to instruct you, and we shall follow your careers with pride and affection. Sincerely, gs ?XW. Edgar F. Shannon, Jr. President 17
