Its functions include the collection and preserva- tionof knowledge, the generation of new insights, artistic creativity, and new processes, their communication to the citizens of the nation, and their application in making life more inter- esting, enjoyable and productive. Its goal is to help develop the potential of each individual to the highest degree possible, to aid each person in devel- oping an ability to deal with the cir- cumstances of twentieth-century life and enjoying his participation with a greater sense of satisfaction, and to contribute to the common good. The University does this partly by providing the framework in which the person has not only access to facts but the chance to engage freely in systematic inves- tigation. Free inquiry and experi- mentation have always resulted in per- Morrill Hall, in 1913 atter the fire sonal enrichment, and in the develop- ment of new expression, which has been and will continually be the source of spiritual, cultural, social, and technological advances for the benefit of all societies and nations. An apt description of our Campus must include provision for the process of personal, social and civic develop- ment open to students and faculty, the opportunities for cultural development and for the community members to relate on an informal level, the pro- grams and connections with State and national agencies, and the relationship and place of the College Park Campus in the community of knowledge across the country. These factors cannot be adequately evaluated or circumscribed, and yet they are as important or even more prominent than formal proceed- ings. Significantly, then, it is the nature and the variety of the persons who make up our Campus that are its prin- cipal resources. 2 THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION PROGRAMS OF STUDY The College Park Campus is one of College Park is a suburb of Wash- The programs offered on the the ,campuses of a State-wide Uni- ington, D.C.
