As from its very beginning, the University is dedicated to the task of training the youth of today, the citizens of tomorrow. How well it has succeeded is indicated by the number of doctors, lawyers, engineers, social workers, journalists, dentists, farmers, businessmen, and com­ munity and civic leaders in all fields-good citizens all-who have gone from its several campuses to participate actively in the upgrading of the welfare of the I citizens of our state. During the period of its existence, the University has awarded more than 107,000 degrees to its students who have completed the t rigorous training demanded by the complexities of modem society. In addition to the enormous task of giving collegiate instruction to nearly f nineteen thousand students on its Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth campuses, t the University offers, through its Schools of Agriculture, its General Extension Division, and its short courses, specialized training designed to assist those who wish to study on a part-time basis. Still in addition, its staff members who are county agents, home demonstration agents, and recreation and health con­ sultants give effective aid and assistance to citizens of the state in their very homes. But the University of Minnesota, like all great universities, has expanded far beyond its early teaching and training programs. In its diverse research labora­ tories on its three campuses, at the several agricultural experiment stations, at the Rosemount Research Center, and at the University Hospitals, its scientists at any one moment are working on countless research experiments of vital in­ terest to the future health and welfare of all of us. These projects deal with such matters as cancer, poliomyelitis, taxation, low-grade iron ore, cheese making, I teacher training, municipal government, nuclear fission, new varieties and strains of grains and fruits, supersonics and transonics, to mention only a few. t THE UNIVERSITY is recognized as the cultural hub of the Northwest; it is the home of the Minneapolis Symphony, the University Artists Course, radio station KUOM, the University Theatre, and the local performances of the I Metropolitan Opera Company. Through the University of Minnesota Concert and Lecture Service and the School Assembly Service, the University brings to t more than a million and a half people, in the area it serves, artists and lecturers of quality and talent. ' The people of Minnesota are proud of their University, not because it is one of the greatest state universities in the nation, but because of the extent and quality of its services from which they, their families, communities, and organi­ l zations benefit. Their interest in the University is a dynamic, living thing and expresses itself in many ways. Contributions from them have made it possible for the new Variety Club Heart Hospital to be dedicated and for the great Mayo I Memorial building to be erected over the coming months. Through the Ameri­ can Legion and auxiliary posts all over the state, thousands of friends have made f generous donations to provide an endowed research professorship in heart t diseases. All students at the University, their families and friends are invited to con­ tinue their enthusiasm and interest in the University of Minnesota. Graduates are especially urged to identify themselves with the University Alumni Associa­ tion and the Greater University Fund and to return as frequently as possible to visit us here at the University.
