' • • ♦ -wp- ADMINISTRATION DOCTOR ROLAND H. NELSON, JR., rpi ' s second president, approaches the problems of the ur- ban university with stress on the individual and the col- lege ' s total integration into the community. The urban college, to deserve the name, must be part of the city which surrounds it. It must use the city as a learning laboratory . . . but more, it must know the city ' s concerns, but most important, it must educate its students to solve the city ' s problems; to share the city ' s concerns. Dr. Nelson received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Duke University, his Masters degree from the Univer- sity of Virginia, and his Doctorate from Harvard. Coming to RPI from Duke University where he was chairman of the department of education, Dr. Nelson brought with him definite ideas about the role of the administration in an urban college. In his address at the first convocation of the year on October 4, 1967, Dr. Nelson said on the subject of administration, The job of the place is edu- cation. The name of the game is learning. Administration is not the end but the means. His beliefs, his aims, and his goals reflect the ever- growing and ever-changing atmosphere of the college. We must hold to the vitality and the courage to experi- ment that have characterized RPI. We must respect each man for what he is, for what he can do. By combining and incorporating the best of the old with the best of the new -the cobblestones with the steel, the new data with the traditional but nevertheless valid and useful laws-Dr. Nelson approaches his new college with skill, with intelligence, and, most important of all, with understanding. We have before us a challenge to develop a college that truly educates for our age. We have the will for it. We shall find the way. Let us join together now and pledge our efforts to meet that challenge. ► -♦•♦•♦• ♦«•♦■• •
