$1.50 A WORD FROM THE CHANCELLOR... As we mark the Golden Year

on the Westwood campus, are we celebrating UCLA's age or its youthfulness? Probably both. Fifty years is a long period in a human life, but it is short in the history of universities, some of which date back to the Middle Ages. Both youth and age are worth celebrating. In the words of Longfellow, "Age is opportunity no less than youth itself, though in a different dress." UCLA, though still youthful, is not the same institution that opened its doors at Westwood in 1929; in those fifty years the university has grown rapidly in academic stature and developed into a major force in American education. Further development lies ahead. The university must keep its options open in dealing with changing conditions in society and in the world. One thing has not changed-the opportunity for a quality education. The major change has been in the increasing richness and diversity of courses and curricula represented by this catalog. We wish you well as you make your choices among these offerings. "The University seeks to promote and sustain an environment conducive May they serve you well in UCLA's to sharing, extending and critically examining knowledge and values, and Golden Year. to furthering the search for wisdom."
