PRESIDENT A. HOWARD MENEELY It is a happy circumstance that Wheaton’s 125th anniversary should occur during a period of dramatic physical expansion. Within the past four years three new dormitories and a dining hall have been erected. A new classroom structure has been built, and the anniversary year will witness the construction of an impressive Fine Arts Building and an enlargement of the Library. Valuable and attractive though these new additions to our college plant may be, their true worth lies in what they can do to enrich cam- pus living and to provide the setting and opportunity for more effective learning. Obviously, it is what happens within our college halls that really counts, that gives the place its claim to merit and respect. From those far off days in the spring of 1835 when Wheaton’s first students were enrolled down to this anniversary year of 1960 when the College has its largest registration, the quest for knowledge, truth, and understanding has been the school’s primary purpose. In some measure the life and character of every student has been shaped by her Wheaton experience; in some measure each in turn has played a part in molding Wheaton’s customs and its way of life. So too has each teacher and administrative officer had a part in making the institution what it is today. In short, the building of the Wheaton College that we know and love has been a long-time, cooperative enterprise. For the contribution which the members of the Class of 1960 have made to its prosperity and well-being we are grateful, and we hope that what Wheaton has given to them will be of abiding benefit as they go their way. A. Howard Meneely President
