This was especially fortunate, for this was Inauguration Day and now we could witness the historic event on television. That day, we saw John F. Kennedy become our 35th President. November 25, 1963 was a crisp autumn day, with not a cloud in the sky. Yet again NCE was closed, while its flag flew at halfmast. That day we witnessed the funeral of John F. Kennedy. None of us will ever forget the shock, the dis- belief of that first bulletin on Friday, November 22, when we were told that our President was dead. None of us will ever forget those sad four days, when all thoughts, save one, were forgotten. Nor will we forget Kennedy, the man. The warm smile, the carefree hair, the familiar accent that prompted so many jokes. His strength and courage in days of crisis. His vision and dedica- tion for a better world. His memory will be with us through our lives. Let his inspiration guide us in our ways.

Men entering at that time may, if they so desire, continue the work of the Freshman year during the Summer Session. Those who satisfactorily complete the work of the Spring and Summer Sessions are then eligible for admission to the Sophomore class the following September. All candidates for graduation who satisfactorily complete a regular course of study and the examina- tions required receive the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in the course pursued. The Newark College of Engineering reports to and receives the right to grant degrees from the New Jersey State Board of Education.
