THE VICE-PRESIDENTS To learn the thrill of intellectual discovery; to appreciate the beauty in mathematics, in a poem or a painting; to gain a better under- standing of himself and this complex world into which he has been born; to prepare him- self professionally to be of service to himself and to his fello ' wmen; and possibly even to acquire some wisdom — these are among the opportunities offered students in their years at Western. Whether these opportunities are seized or passed by for useless trivia each student will determine for himself and in so doing determine the quality of his life. — Dr. Seibert Dr. L. Dale Faunce Vice-President for Student Affairs Chairman, Planning and Development Committee Dr. Russell H. Seibert Vice-President of Academic Affairs The dignity of the individual, the feeling of belonging, the recognition of rights and re- sponsibilities are most important in the univer- sity community if true intellectual opportunities are to be grasped and fulfilled by students. This, then, becomes the true objective of the Student Personnel Services, as indicated by the year long Self Study just completed. The strength and reputation of any university de- pends upon the caliber of its faculty and stu- dents. The physical facilities are important only to serve the purposes of the academic program. Western has steadily forged ahead in its physical growth and will continue to do so in an orderly maimer. — Dr. Faunce 16
