Pittenger Reports
Hardin Urges Alumni
To BemmQ Vital Force
Chancellor Clifford Hardin urged
Friday afternoon that the 40,1)00
former University students living
in the state should be marshaled
into a "vital force for higher edu
cation." He spoke at the annual meeting
of the Board of Directors of the
University of Nebraska Alumni
Association, held in the Union.
The Chancellor said alumni of
the University living in Nebraska
"now have challenging opportun
ity" to become an active, dynamic
group willing to explain to all
Nebraska citizens the stringent de
mands which will be placed ipon
the University in the next 10 years.
- These demands Chancellor
Hardin described as:
' 1. The desire of more high school
graduates to enter the University
which may swell enrollment to
double or triple the number now
attending. . .
2. An expanding economy which
will require more and more incen
tives for young persons to find
careers in teaching and research.
3. Increasing industrialization of
Nebraska which will impose an
additional training and research
burden.
. 4. An acceleration of changes in
methods of producing food, and
the by-products of the agriculture
enterprise due in part to new
applications of atomic energy.
The directors heard Secretary
James S. Pittenger, who gave his
annual report of progress of the
Alumni Association, stress the
need for continued emphasi on
state organisation for the coming
year.
He said that the income from
dues during 1354-55 was the highest
in history, as was the circulation
of the Nebraska Alumnus, monthly
publication of the Association,
Pittenger commented that alum
ni must become ambassadors of

Gates Restored
Courtesy Lincoln Star
The permanent installation of two weather-beaten arched iron
gates which were the only entrances to the University of Nebraska
during the 55 years that the campus was enclosed by an iron fence
were dedicated Saturday.
The gates, originally placed on the city campus in 1892, have been
installed at the entrances to the columns northeast of Memorial
Stadium. A gift from Ralph Mueller of Cleveland, O., a graduate of
1898, made possible the restoration.
The dedication program featured a brief carillon interlude, a few
reminiscences of days when the gates were standing by Mrs. Williams
and Prof. Richard D. Moritz, dean emeritus of Summer Sessions, and
the" presentation and acceptance of the gates by University officials.
