POTSDAM—Clarkson Col lege of Technology's newly inaugurated-presidentr*^^hir W. Graham jr., said Saturday that the college "must find -.better* and new ways to con­tribute \o the economic and industrial growth of northern New York,

"The future of our college is interminably bound with that of the North Country," said Graham in his inaugural address. "We • want that fu-ture-^for both of us—to be as prosperous as possible."

Graham, who was named Clarkson's eleventh president

s late last summer, was formal­ly installed in office during ceremonies h e l d Saturday afternoon in t he Clarkson Arena. His remarks, includ­ing those outlining the col­lege's role In serving its geo­graphical region, were aimed at defining "Clarkson^s Com:

~TfilTmehTTo™T6morrow.'' The chief executive dis­

cussed his role in relation to the proposed, review and, re­statement of Clarkson's mis sion under several • major headings. He i n t e rpreted

^those headings as the recruit­ment of faculty, the enhance­ment of the intellectual lm-vironment of the college, and the development and wise use of operating and capital resources.

Graham suggested that the "new" objectives of the insti­tution and the outcome de sired "should be compatible with its forseeable resources

We of Clarkson Co.llege honor R. Buckminster Fuller for this achievement, but also because he has long been an advanced thinker in his field —a poet of technology who has sought to bridge the gap between- the humanities and the sciences. We honor him because the edifice of his own being is a tetrahedron of in­telligence, energy, and design based upon social responsi­bility and faith in mankind. This has enabled him to stand steadfast through ad­versity and neglect, ponder­ing fundamental questions and seeking the pattern of nature amidst the detail- to brmg^kbbut formankind new and useful* structures. ' We honor him because' at 71 years-of-age-he-is-an-optimist-who finds in youth a promise for man's future. We honor him, finally, because he is, a citizen of the world dedicat­ed to the service of mankind through the application of [technology, the purpose for which this College stands.

Associated. for 30 years with the rubber industry, he was a research pioneer in the development of s y n t hetic rubber. His adaptation of sta­tistical control methods in the manufacture of synthetic rubber was one of the first examples of the application of such control concepts to a chemical manufacturing pro­cess. • _ ;__ - In 1945 he.went to Ger­many under the auspices of the Technical Industrial In­telligence committee of t he Joint Chiefs of Staff to study the progress of the German synthetic rubber industry. This study resulted in funda­mental information on cold polymerization leading to im­portant research and devel­opment, activities. for which he was awarded a certificate

His, lectures at Cornell have inspired countless undergrad­uates and his graduate stu­dents now occupyjeading ac­ademic chairs in this country and abroad.-A leader in the History of Science Society, he has served as_ its president and also as president oftthe Academie Internationale d* Histoire des Sciences. •'%

In recent years the sftidy of the history of sciencelhas changed from an avocation of elderly statesmen of^sci* ence to an established intel­lectual discipline of the first rank. As a scholar, teacher, and cultured humanist, Hen­ry E d w a r d Guerlac *has played a notable and l e y role In this transformatloli. It is fitting that Clarkson.
