Foreword }5°

No other community in the world quite resembles a university.

It is characterized by a transient, yet permanent nature. It is anaggregate of numerous constituent parts, the administration

managing internal and external affairs; the faculty guiding stu-

dents to higher academic achievement; the physical plant ex-

panding to accommodate an increasing population; the stu-

dents living together, learning, playing, preparing.

Eastern Kentucky University is one of these unique bodies,

set apart by its own singular characteristics. University status,

recognizing Eastern as a multi-purpose institution having anexpanded curriculum and a learned faculty, resulted from the

efforts of the dynamic administration of President Robert R.

Martin. Perpetual construction and renovation, the stately land-

marks of the past, and the resplendence of nature blend to forma campus observably different from all others.

The essential ingredient of the University is ultimately its stu-

dents. The elements vary from year to year, each leaving his

own impression on the school. From an accumulation of these

indelible marks evolve the traditions of the University, giving

Eastern a personality all its own. ^ KS

Perpetual construction

and expansion, . . .

The buildings comprising the campus of the University,

its brick and mortar foundations, afford a seat of learn-

ing where the pursuit of knowledge can take place.

However, neither the educational process nor the en-

vironment in which it occurs must be allowed to be-

come static.

Truly a distinguishing feature of Eastern is the un-

paralleled growth of its physical plant, thrusting the

campus upward and outward. Massive structures

equipped with modern facilities and instructional ma-terials have met the increased needs of students andfaculty involved in a broadened curriculum.

. . . stately landmarks,

and nature's beauty forming

a unique setting; . .

.

That tangible characteristic which identi-

fies an institution is its campus. When onecomes to Eastern, he at once is aware of

its heritage. The University Building andthe Student Union Building, stately edifices

reminiscent of an earlier era, proclaim a

sense of origin and permanence.

Natural splendor surrounds and enhances

the campus halls. Changes in nature are

reminders that the University is a perennial

entity, continually prepared to fulfill its

purpose. When one leaves Eastern, the

landmarks of the past and the artistry of

nature embed a never-to-be-forgotten re-

membrance of dignity and beauty.

... the faculty improving instructional quality; . .

.

A university must have an organizational frame-

work, headed by an administration which sets the

pace for campus life. With it lies the responsibility

of conducting relations with the world outside the

community and among the people within the com-munity. It must also select qualified, experienced

faculty who can challenge the impatient mind of

each student.

The high quality of Eastern's instructional pro-

gram is determined by a faculty that invites its stu-

dents to higher academic achievement and guides

them toward oriented goals. Teachers endeavor to

inspire their students to grasp instruction and trans-

form it into usable knowledge which can project

them toward future success. By continually search-

ing out, preparing, and presenting pertinent ma-terial, and counseling, they strive to help their younglearners achieve their individual aims.

. . . students living together

in a world apart; . .

.

The college experience is like none other in one's

life. More than just a period for completing formal

education, it is, for most, the final stage of meta-

morphosis from the established patterns of life into

one's own way of life, accomplished in the unique

environment which characterizes a university.

From the first moment one arrives at the Univer-

sity, he begins living as a self-reliant entity amonga sea of diverse personalities. He finds new friends

and spends many pleasurable hours in their com-pany; he participates in activities which express his

own interests; he falls in love, once or many times;

he reflects his values and goals, continually reap-

praising them in relation to his ever-widening intel-

lectual and social experiences. At the end of his

college career, hopefully, he has become capable of

taking his rightful place in a challenging society,

yet retaining his individuality.

. . . reaching toward higher

academic levels, . .

.

Each person elects to attend college for a uniqueset of reasons; however, the primary factor basic

to his decision is the realization of his need to

prepare for the role he will assume in society.

Initial classroom contacts acquaint him with the

true atmosphere of a university, that is, the col-

lege experience is not only a time for prepara-

tion, but also a continuation of the endless

quest for knowledge.

At Eastern opportunities for learning are

multifarious. Learning takes place not only in

the classroom, but wherever the student desires.

The responsibility for making the most of these

opportunities lies with the individual. The suc-

cess of his endeavors hinges on how well heexercises this prerogative.

. . . enriching their lives

through varied activities; . . .

College life offers more than academic challenge.

It includes a wealth of meaningful activities whichcontribute to the student's total development.

Participation in Greeks, student government, the

theater, athletics, and departmental and church-

affiliated organizations affords channels of expres-

sion for students' interests. These outlets provide

a means of achieving the fullest satisfaction and

enjoyment from life's most wonderful years.

. . . fuse to give Eastern

a personality all its own.

From the date of its founding, Eastern

has been formed and perpetuated by the

people and the ideals that have been as-

sociated with it. The institution has cometo personify academic quality, dynamicgrowth, and a friendly atmosphere.

The Eastern Tradition is an intangible

spirit which gives the University a dis-

tinct identity. But it is more than this.

Philip Ogilivie describes it as "rich

ground well-tilled and warm with sun-

shine of hope for an even greater future."

A Freshman Steps Into

A New World

For a freshman, the first week of the university

year is especially impressive—perhaps even de-

pressive for a time—but usually with positive

initiative. From the first day on campus, friend-

ships are born and dissolved; images are created

and destroyed; ideas are originated and shattered.

As the 3,594 freshmen attended the hectic, hur-

ried activities with endless confusion and wonder-ment, they learned quickly the traditions of their

new university. Amid the confusion of registration

and chaos of waiting in long lines, the student

often lost sight of that goal toward which his

efforts are directed. To the freshman, Orientation

Week was filled with both sorrow and happiness,

sorrow in parting from the sheltered environment

of home, and happiness in taking another step

in life. A life as a university student.
