A WORD FROM OUR P R E S I D E N T JOHN F. CRAMER President Portland State College It is usual for people to say, as they get older, that thei r college years were among the happiest of their lives. Friendships made in college have a way of persisting down through the years . Important deci sions are made dur­ ing thi s time that affect the students' future. A college yearbook se rves as all invaluable record of these pleasa nt and important years. Portland State College ha s had an excellent year. Increas ing enrollments have demonstrated how firm a place the young college has earned for itself in the life of Portland and Oregon. Opportunities for hi gher education have been provided for an increa s ing number of young men and women. The full and complete array of soc ial , cultural, and athletic activities offered by the College to those who are interested are revea led in this volume. It is my hope that you will look back on the year which is revealed in thi s book as olle of the most fruitful and happy ill your lives. JOHN F. CRAMER 19
