Dear Fellow Alumni, With the closing of my term of office I wish to thank all alumni who have given of their time and talent to the success of the alumni program this year.

Whittier College is in the midst of a tremendous development change with the ground breaking of the new Science Building soon to take place on tradition steeped Hadley Field. All alumni and friends of the college feel a sense of pride in the progress and accomplishments of our alma mater.

In its few short years, the Whittier College Alumni Association has gained considerable stature. As I turn over the reigns of office to Gene M. Marrs, it is my hope that each of you will continue to support Whittier College and the Alumni Association in all of their endeavours.

Sincerely,

Thomas V. Deihl '47 President Whittier College Alumni Association - 1965-66

Whittier College, Whittier, California 90602 / OXbow 3-0771 / Extension 27 The Whittier College Alumni Association experienced its annual growing pains on experienced its annual growing pains on June 11, 1966. A total of 401 Bachelor of Arts degrees were conferred upon men and women in the tradition steeped confines of Herbert E. Harris Amphitheatre. An overflow crowd of more than 3,500 people heard Vice Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, pioneer of the nuclear age in submarine propulsion, speak about the American education system and its challenges to today's graduates. Vice Admiral Rickover, an outspoken critic of United States education and educators argues that the position of the United States as a leader of the free world demands basic reform of its entire educational practices. As head of the Atomic Energy Commission's Naval Reactor Branch, as well as the Nuclear Propulsion Division of the U.S. Navy, Rickover opened the Navy's Nuclear power school. His experience in this field has enabled him to closely evaluate the American Educational System's products, which has led him to the conviction that in our changing world, reform of our system and the establishment of National Educational Standards are essential to our world competition.

Highlighting the Sixty-third Annual Commencement was the conferring of degrees by Dr. Paul S. Smith, President of the College. Besides the 401 graduates receiving the A.B. degree, there were 44 Master's Degree Candidates. Of this number 39 received the Masters of Education; 4 received the Masters of Arts; and Karol Williams, from Chicago, received the first Masters of Arts in teaching to be awarded at Whittier College since this new degree was added. The MAT requires a master's major in the field of specialization.

The 1966 Committee on Honorary Degrees awarded Chet Holifield, Congressman from the 19th 1110 making of an alumnus'OH Congressional District, Montebello, California, an honorary Doctor of Law. Congressman Holifield has served in Congress since 1942 and is Chairman of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy in the 89th Congress. Holifield is nationally and internationally recognized as an outstanding leader in atomic energy legislation.

Earlier in the day the Annual Alumni Day Luncheon was held in the Walter F. Dexter Student Center Campus Inn. The luncheon honoring the graduating Class of 1966 also presented tribute to preceding classes who were holding reunions. These classes were: 1906 (60th Anniversary), 1911 (55th), 1916— the Golden Anniversary Class (50th), 1921 (45th), 1926 (40th), 1931 (35th), 1936 (30th), 1941 (25th), 1946 (20th), 1951 (15th), 1956 (10th), and 1961 (5th). Miss Mabel Roberts '06, the only surviving member from her class was present to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of her graduation from Whittier College. The luncheon attended by over 500 alumni friends, and parents, watched as the Class of 1966 was welcomed into the Alumni Association by Thomas V. Deihl '47, president. William Wright, President of the Class of '66 presented a check to Dr. Paul S. Smith to cover the cost of receptionist furniture for Whittier's new $3.5 million Science Building. Annual Alumni Achievement Awards were presented by the Alumni Association past president, Ken Ball '34, to two of Whittier's outstanding graduates. Chosen this year to receive the Alumni Association's highest award were Dr. Thomas E. Coffin '36, for his work in the field of Business and Dr. Chester M. McCloskey '40 for his work in the field of Science and Research. Dr. Coffin is currently a Vice President of the National Broadcasting Company in charge of Research and Programming. Dr. McCloskey, after spending several years in research at California Institute of Technology is currently the President of the Norac Company with headquarters in Azusa, Calif.

By request of the Royal Dutch Baseball Association, Dr. Arce has been asked to duplicate his 1964 summer trip. Arce has picked as the nucleus of the squad 16 members from his own Claremont-Mudd team, adding five from Redlands, one from Occi- dental and four from Whittier. Those chosen from Whittier were pitchers Jim Colborn from Santa Paula and Gary Jones from Bell; shortstop Gregg Beller from Montebello, and third baseman Jim Gardiner from Los Angeles. Jones, Colborn, and Belier were all-conference picks this past season in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Confer- ence, but the team was not chosen solely on baseball ability. In addition to that, and probably more important, were the criterion of character, personality, and baseball enthusiasm, for not only will the boys be playing baseball, but they must be competent enough socially to develop a respectable rapport with the Dutch. Costs for the program will be defrayed mainly by the city of Haar- lem, whose wish it is to further the sport of baseball all over Holland. (Presently, it has grown to be the second most popular sport in the Netherlands.) The remaining costs, amounting to approximately $500 Sociology Professor Attends Social Welfare Institute per participant will come from the individual himself. Dr. Charles J.
