t PRESIDENT OF W. V. U ITIfsf iUrginia ibiiiorraiip For the 1963 Honticola To ' .Vest Virginia University Students: The publication of this Monticola somes at a time i.-hen the senior class is graduating and the other classes are moving up to take its place; it is a tine of confusion and excitement, both for the graduates, who are soon to leave the University to take up occupations elsewhere, as well as for the undergraduates, who are beginninj; new chapters in their college life. All of you will read and re-read this annual, but finally the book will be put aside with the other personal documents of University life. Years hence, when the book is uncovered somewhere in a dusty attic, the discovery id.li awahen sensitivities long dormant, and you will remember yourself as you were so many years ago. It is for that nor.ent of reminiscence that this letter is written. ' .Vhat then will be your abiding impression of the University? ' . ill your education have survived the vagaries of time? ' .fill the ' Jniversity have ' oeen a place that proirided you with manj ' of the intellectual and moral tools -rfhich make you a truly free individual, devoted to self -improvement as well as the progress of society? ' .fill it be the place where you will want to send your children? Or v;ill it be only a haze in the past that leaves you v;ith nothing more than an occasional anecdote to tell about your growing up? Hopefully, ' ifest Virginia University will be as viable to you then as it was when you were a student. Hopefully too, it vri.ll have stood the test of time as a truly outstanding institution of higher education that will deserve your increasing si port. Just as its values should have caused you to feel concern about the higher aspirations of mankind. If this does not prove to be true, that day in the distant future, then you and I will know that we have faile-i ■Jniversity. C3aU!L ' UUJU .-aul A. Mill President
