For those of you who couldn't get to the Freedman inaugural, I am pleased to report that it was very impressive. In his address the new president thanked Mr. McLaughlin for turning over the College in such excellent financial and physical condition. With this firm foundation, President Freedman plans to rejuvenate liberal arts education with emphasis on world problems, foreign languages, study, and travel. He is hoping to give our graduates adequate preparation to enter the global world. He further plans to enrich the faculty of both the undergraduate and graduate schools, recognizing the fact that we are really a university and, as such, should strive for excellence at all levels. Jeff and Bea Davis, Jack and DottieManchester, Sam Cunningham, and your faithful secretary were in attendance.

The Class Secretaries Association has given Carl Rugen a special award and a copy of Dr. Seuss's You Are Only Old Once for eight years of splendid service to the College in general and our class in particular.
