President William P. Miller To the Students of Weber State College: The acquiring of a college education has never been as important to the individual and to society as it is today. At no time in the history of this country has it been so essential for its citizens to develop and maintain high educational levels. The rapid explosion of knowledge in all fields and the increasing complexity of the problems of the world and our nation demand a higher educational competence to understand and to cope with these new and rapidly changing situations. Entrance into and progress in occupations and professions require much greater training than in the past. I am pleased that Weber State College has been permitted to expand from a junior college to a senior institution. This year, our second with a senior class, presents greater op-portunities than at any time in the past to meet the educational needs of our time. Our high enrollment this year is evidence of the confidence placed in our institution. The true value of our educational program depends on the professional and academic standards set by our faculty and also by the academic and activity standards set by our students. I have full confidence that both groups will cooperate to maintain a senior institution worthy of the trust placed in it. William P. Miller President
