| Transcript | Working together for the University's growth are Lt. General A. D. Bruce, chancellor; H. R. Cullen, chairman of the Board of Governors; and Dr. Clanton W. Williams, the University's president. DR. CLANTON W. WILLIAMS, University president. PRESIDENT WILLIAMS CALLS THE PLAYS IN o institution of higher learning has ever come so far so fast as has the University of Houston. As the story of the future unfolds, that statement will continue to hold true. "During the relatively short time that it has been my privilege to be a party to this phenomenal development, I have watched this university grow in stature in every respect. Its faculty steadily has gained prestige in academic circles. Its student body has continued to make such strides in scholarly achievement, in athletic standing, and in general cultural attainment as to make fully justified the pride which its members feel in their alma mater. "When one pauses to ponder the significance of the statistics involved as this institution continues to educate the tens of thousands of determined young men and women of this vigorous section of our nation, he begins to realize the enormity of the impact this University is exerting upon the cultural, educational, professional, and economic circumstances of this area. "When in the future old grads will thumb through this 1957 volume of the HOUSTONIAN; each may doubtless say, "I was proud of the University of Houston then. I am proud of it now. Those of us who played a role in making it great had a faith well-founded." 19 |
