the years have been of immeasurable value in clarifying your own objec-
tives and in interpreting your activities and your plans to the lay public.

public concerning the purposes and the practices of American higher
education. I also wish to take this opportunity to signalise the extra-
ordinarily fine program of social work education provided in the School of
