DEAN C. W. BURSCH, II February 13, 1956 DEAN'S MESSAGE The pages of this Viking record the activities of an historic group of students, those who had the honor to share in Portland State College's first year as a degree granting institution. Yet, as with all pioneer enterprises, everything that was achieved was built through blood, sweat, and tears. The students of Portland State College have always done their fair share in the work of building a new college, but this alone would not be worthy of comment, because we expect people to do their duty. Special honor goes to those hardy souls who overcome difficulty to achieve superior performance in academic and student life, in spite of their physical environment. We will go on to greater achievements here at Portland State College, no one can stop us, but never again will there be a "First Year." 1 am proud to have been a part of this enterprise. c{2.(0.~JC II
