' 5 5: will I I PRESIDENT NIICHEELS our preaicfent reffecta At last they came to the place where Reflection sits, - that strange old woman, who had always one elbow on her knee, and her chin in her hand, and who steals light out of the past to shed it on the future. These words of Olive Schreiner, from an essay entitled Dreams, are fitting and in keeping with the theme of this yearbook. I expect that the editors would hope that each of us would browse through these pages, elbow on a knee, chin in a hand, and use these pictures and words from the recent past to shed light on the future. This has been a year of significant happenings at Stout. I wonder what it has meant to you? Our name has been changed to Stout State University. But what's in a name? We have seen new building take form, as never before in the history of our school. But has our spirit kept pace with the mount- ing bricks and mortar? Our student body has in- creased more rapidly than expected. But how well have we assimilated them into the traditions and image of Stout? Graduation will be a significant event for each senior. I-low well have we helped them to be ready for what lies ahead? Questions of this kind motivate one to take to heart these ancient words of wisdom: Now and then be idle, sit and think. I cannot help but reflect on the fact that I, too, was a Freshman when the Class of 1965 enrolled at Stout. During these four years there have been many new things to learn, many new acquaintances, many problems, many decisions. But the experi- ences were challenging, interesting and, I think, productive. I expect this summarized the feelings of all seniors, as well as myself. I find it helpful to pause now and then to reflect on things which might have been done differently. Perhaps you do the same, but it should be only a pause to benefit from the past while making plans for the future. As you carry into the future your reflections on the past, may I suggest the words of Paul in his advice to the Philippians: Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatso- ever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good reportg if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. President Micheels A handshake of welcome and guidance is extended from our president, Dr. Wvilliam J. Micheels, to a student seeking his help.
