DEDICATION As the darkness silently slips across the sidewalks and streets, the activity of the day changes to the hushed bustle of the night. And another day at Rich- mond Professional Institute draws to a close. The day students return to their homes and urban apartments via busy city streets-and as they go they are assimi- lated into the life of the city. Many work afternoons and evenings, giving the city businesses and bureaus a vi- tal source of part-time help in department stores, of- fices, firms, and warehouses. And the evening college students come to RPI from all facets of city life-busi- nessmen, laborers, housewives, teachers, secretaries all come to further their education and to satisfy their thirst for knowledge. But we are all of, from, or in the city. As an urban college, Richmond Professional Institute is now celebrating fifty years of diligent, faithful, and vital aid to the city. In many respects RPI is the only college of its kind in this region of the United States -it offers many unique courses of study and it prepares stu- dents for a profession, that is, life in an increasingly urban society, education for an urban age. There have been many changes and improvements this year: we have a new president, an extension to Hibbs, a new dormitory under construction, a dynamic student government, the closing of Shafer Street, and an in- creased entertainment program. Besides being a changing school, RPI is also an urban school. We have no real boundaries; we are mingled with the city. The possibility of RPI becoming a university has been discussed and presented. Immediately, several areas began vying for the right to have a campus of univer- sity status located with them. This in itself shows that the community recognizes and supports our work. It also shows that although we have reached one mile- stone, we are being offered unlimited opportunity for continuation and expansion. With that implicit challenge I dedicate this 1968 COB- BLESTONE to the students who are symbols of fifty years of progress and change. I would like to give spe- cial recognition to all who made the following pages possible. Sincerely, Patti Jones Editor-in-chief 1968 Cobblestone
