The President's Homecoming Message University of Illinois Officials T HE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Alumni and Friends: Homecoming is a pleasant time. It helps us to recall our own college days, to compare past with present, and to catch a glimpse of the future. Today, with the highest enrollment in our history-more than 33,000-we look back at the modest beginning our Uni­ versity made 90 years ago on Sept. 17, 1873, when only 24 students were here. This fall we have some 3,000 more students than we did a year ago. The increase is typical of the growth rate in the public universities throughout the state. Yet young Ohioans now in high school will come to the campus in far greater numbers in the next few years. DR. DAVID D. HENRY They will bring with them the need for more educational facilities. President, University of Illinois Time is short, and we must prepare for these students now. The challenge is real and immediate for us all. At th e coming November election, we will have the opportunity to express our decisions on State Issue No. 1 - an opportunity to meet the challenge in a direct and posi­ tive way by providing a $250 million program for building and improvemen s at Ohio's public colleges and universi­ ties, and for other purposes. PROF. LESLIE A. BRYAN We take pride in the quality of educa­ Faculty Representative tion we offer today's students. We have concern for the demands of the future. We ask the help of alumni and friends DR. NOVICE G. FAWCETT in continuing to build this University. President, The Ohio State University Once again let me extend a welcome, not only for this Homecoming Day, but whenever you can visit the campus. Sincerely, Novice G. Fawcett President DOUGLAS R.
