Dr. and Mrs. Rollins at farewell party January 23, 1962, Dr. Charles Rollins resigned as Dean of Instruction at York Junior College to accept the Presidency of Edison Junior College, Fort Myers, Florida. In his new position, beginning March 1, Dr. Rollins will supervise the planning and construction of a new building on a hundred acre campus. He will select a faculty and staff and set up a Liberal Arts curriculum for three hundred freshmen from live surrounding counties. Since 1953, Dr. Rollins has been active in many civic, educational and community affairs in York. He is currently president of the Pennsylvania As- sociation of Junior Colleges, immediate past presi- dent of the York Lions Club, a member of the Junior Achievement Board of Directors, a member of the University Club, and the new Committee of One Hundred. We shall miss our Good Dean, his wife and two sons; we shall miss his wit and laconic an- nouncements at convocations. We shall miss that roaring sports car. But, many students will always remember his sincere, concern for helping them with personal and academic problems. We wish him much success in his new position. Succeeding Dr. Rollins as Dean is Mr. Fred Smith, currently head of the Business Administra- tion Department.

Reflecting on Progress and Promise Books are the treasured wealth of the world, the fit inheritance of generations and nations . . . Thoreau. The Library, soon to be constructed on the Junior College Campus, initially will have stack space for 30,000 ' olumes and 200 carrels for research and study purposes. In addition, there will be separate rooms for reference works, special collections, periodicals, and a gallery where art masterpieces can be exhibited. The floor plans allow for future expansion to 120,000 volumes and stations for 400 readers without changing the basic design of the structure. The academic center of a college is its library, the laboratory for the social sciences and the humanities, and a workshop for all who are seeking new knowledge. Everyday problems of business, go ' ernment, and of society, have compelled more people to acquire more information than was necessary to previous generations. The growth of new academic fields and the increase of our student body has resulted in a similar awareness of the need and desirability for a larger and more adequate library and library services. In all fields, collections have been growing tremendously because of the o ' er vhelming mass of material being published. It is hoped that the new library will become a basic tool in our instructional program and that it will bring together the student, the professor, and the book, for a closer working relationship.
