Tim cadets of 1958, who were fresh men at the time he assumed the duties of chief executive, do hereby present, on the occasion of his final Governor's Review, University I Plans For I The University has announced the establishment of an Institute of Science and Technology, as the University's administrative in strument for the enhancement of services rendered to the state by the already established science and technical departments, ac cording to Dr. Robert L. Sumwalt, acting President. "More specifically," President Sumwalt said, "the purposes of the Institute will be to encourage fundamental research in pure and applied science and to improve teaching programs in the sciences at the University, to assist in the development of science teaching in the public schools of South Car olina, and to render appropriate services to industry and to the public of the state." Administration The Institute will be adminis tered by an executive committee of faculty members appointed by the president. Director is Dr. W. H. Davis of the Department of C}iemiistry and members are Dr. Wade T. Batson of the Departh ment of Biology, Dr. A. P. French of the Department of Physics, Dr. R. G. Fellers of the Department of Electrical Engineering, and Dr. W. L. Williams of the Department of Mathematics. Scientific and engineering re search already in progress at the University will be encouraged, and new programs will be fostered through the Institute. "The establishment of the Insti tute of Science and Technology is viewed as a positive and pro gressive step in the development of the University, its position, and Its standards," President Sumwalt further stated. "It is also regarded as necessary for support of our national and state needs. "It is only too clear in these days of earth satellites, guided missiles, H-bombs, and nuclear powered submarines that our T.a tion must push ahead to ever higher levels of scientific and technological development. This is demanded not only for reasons of military security and national survival but also because of the gigantic task of raising living standards everywhere. First Aim, "While the University's first Xi-X rkson (right), representing the 'immerman (middle) Tuesday a z the University's AFROTC pro 4), acting president of the Uni resen ts merman, this scroll in appreciation of his services." The scroll was painted by T. J. Salane, director of the University Printing Service. nounces nstitute aim is to educate the youth of today, it also shares the task of providing an adequate program of basic research to insure scientific and technological advances. "Although basic research Is in creasing in governmental and in dustrial laboratories, a major part of this fundamental research is carried on under college and uni versity programs. Therefore, the science and engineering faculties at the University must continue strong, and they must be provided with facilities and incentives for research. One function of the In stitute will be to provide leader ship and planning and, thus, to further, the intellectual spirit of inquiry among faculty. "The rapid industrial develop ment of the state provides yet another important motive in es tablishing the Institute, for edu cational and research progress and improvement of the state's eco nomy are mutually dependent. .S. C. Leadership "In creating the Institute," President Sumwalt said, "the Uni versity is seizing the opportunity to provide that leadership for South Carolina which the times demand. The Institute will help to supply the opportunities for the development of knowledge upon which progress in science, education, and industry In our state will be built." The Institute will achieve Its objective& through a number of channel!. A broader scholarship program will be offered through Institute funds made available by private contributions. Research associates and assistants, as well as equipment and other physical requirements, will be provided. .
