PRESIDENT J. F. CRAMER community which we call Portland State College. This volume commemorates the life and activities of the first full year as an independent institution. It tells of those who, working together, have made the year one of achievement and success. It is fascinating to be a part of the development of a new and growing college. We have worked under some handicaps, but we have always known that each new year would be better than the last. Next year we shall have more room, and the year after that the College Center will relieve some of our most pressing problems. We have continued to strive to do well whatever we have attempted. Activities have been carried Qn successfully. We have earned the reputation of being a friendly school, and increasing numbers of new students have found their places in our ranks. We have continued to deserve the reputation of a college where teaching is well done, and where class achievement, the major reason for the existence of the college, has been increasingly satisfactory. We have seen the first graduating class receive degrees from Portland State. The future is filled with promise. We are proud of Portland State, and have made of it a college of which everyone can be proud. But nothing is ever good enough. Next year everything must be better - the class work, the cultural life, the student activities, the social fellowship. Only in- this way can we continue to build ...p our pride in our college. 10 I am happy to bring greetings to all those, faculty and students, who make up the J. F. Cramer President
