COMMITMENTS TO THE TRUSTEES When a college embarks upon a bold program of expansion such as ours in 1963-64, it is a good time for all concerned to examine the commitments which justify such a program. The College is committed to give a liberal educa- tion — that kind which will produce better trained minds to solve the problems of society. The faculty are committed to good teaching, aca- demic scholarship, and intellectual growth. The students are committed to adult conduct and the responsibility for personal development based on integrity and consideration of others. It is, therefore, with a feeling of gratitude, that we pay tribute to the Trustees, who have enough con- fidence in our basic commitments to plan for the rapid development of the college. 10

CAMPUS TOUR College Administrators enjoy campus tours because they allow reflections on previous accomplishments and provide the opportunity For daydreaming future plans and programs. I am reminded, as I tour . . . York Mall of the splendid opportunity for higher education that has been provided for the youth of our County, State, and Nation, by many Yorkers who gave generous financial support to our Campus Development Program. The new Gymnasium-Auditorium of the many opportunities we have to provide lectures, concerts, dramatic and athletic programs for our students and adults in our community. Springettsbury Hall that 130 young ladies have made our College Campus their home away from home. The little White House of the sympathetic attitude and personalized services rendered to those who are in need of counsel and ad ice. The new Library, my fondest dream, of our splendid educational resources in entirely new and pleasant surroundings. I am remmded, as I dream of the future of . . . Our need for a new Dormitory for Men and a larger, more modern Student Center. Our increasing enrollment, both within and outside York County, is a reminder that our services and facilities must keep pace with our growth. Time is slipping by. We must not delay in our quest for these additions to our Campus. What tour would be complete without stopping to chat with a member of the faculty or staff? These, too, are pleasant reminders of everyone employed by the College who, through their loyalty and devotion to duty, are responsible for the growth and success of YJC. York Junior College
