President Fagg's Welcome
Fagg, Hill
FRED D. FAGG JR.
It is always a pleasure to welcome freshmen and other new students to the University of Southern California. and to see again the many men and women with whom we have become well acquainted in past years.
I know you will all find Troy a good place to be. We Have an excellent and friendly faculty, and one that is close to the students.
Our physical facilities are first-rate. We are completing the last of ten new buildings that have been erected in the past three years. ,
Buildings are not everything, however. The resources of this university are its men and women, and we are interested in what sort of citizens you will become. The work you do here and how you get the job done are what will count later in life.
I wish you hard work, good luck, and the enjoyment and satisfaction that come from doing well.
Fred D. Fagg Jr.
President of the University
