| Transcript | FOREWORD "HERE WE ARE. The University of Houston has arrived. It is a force. The dream is fleshing out. The harvest of the work, the real-dog days, converge—in the present tense—with the vision, the hope, the potential." Above are the words of the University of Houston's Assistant Dean of Women Nancy Innis. They were spoken during a year when their meaning had much impact—the building, maturing year of 1964-65. Is it trite to say UH is on its way up? We at UH have heard this promise over and over, yet many cannot conceive its full meaning. In truth, we have only to look around us to view the evidence. We see the physical evidence of rapid construction; academic evidence of higher standards; social evidence of national prestige— all infants born at another time, now maturing. This maturing cannot be merely recognized; it demands to be recorded. Because of this demand, the HOUSTONIAN staff seeks to depict in its publication the overwhelming expansion of the University, in not just a physical area, but in all phases. Symbolically, then, the 1965 HOUSTONIAN is a journal intended to capture pictorially the unprecedented mood of a modern UH. The staff hopes to share its affinity for the University with all HOUSTONIAN readers and to incite recognition of the University's growing greatness. If readers cannot now see it—this grandeur—as we do, then they will, 5, 10, or 50 years from now, and our HOUSTONIAN will recall to them this ultra-important building year. AGG A city framed by the American and Texas flags and the University of Houston Science Building, rapidly-growing Houston is a promise of the future and UH's part in it. |
