EUGENE S. FARLEY President PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Less than three years have passed since we rejoiced that the war was ended and a period of peace and promise commenced. During these three years hopes have changed to doubts, and there is danger that in our disillusionment we shall lose the will to strive for those things that, in all times, have made life worthwhile. ln the face of such circumstances my wish is that you may have the courage and the vision to think straight and to act accordingly. Too many of the problems you face today have arisen from compromise and the acceptance of false values by those who have preceded you. These great problems can only be solved by generations of men and women capable of seeing straight and possessed of conviction that by intelligent and constructive action great ends can be attained. It has been said that progress results from a combination of hope and difhculty. I know that you have hope, and everyone knows that great obstacles confront you. May you always retain your hope, and may you gain strength from your conquest of the obstacles that face you. I am not wishing you either ease or comfort, for they are not the elements that make for accomp- lishment. I am wishing for you the challenge that comes from a job to be done: may you later gain the satisfaction that comes from sharing in the accomplishment of worthy ends. EUGENE S. FA RLEY ,10-

In the early days of Wilkes history, Chase Hall and its grounds comprised the Whole campus. ln- side Chase, our President, the Registrar, and the office force were located on the first floor. The upper floors were devoted to classrooms and student lounges. Now that Wilkes has expanded into a four-year college, Chase Hall has become the center of administration. Dr. Farley has his office in multi-windowed Chase 209, and Registrar Morris has taken over our President's former location on the first floor. The finance office has moved to the former Womenls Lounge. Also on the second floor are the offices of Deans Harker and Ralston. The specialization of Chase Hall into an administration building is typi- cal of the growth of Wilkes College. Herbert J. Morris Registrar c 4 George Ralston Dean of Men fn -e A Ka v-.., ' K Betty L.
