EQEEWORD As President of the California State Polytechnic College, it is my privilege again to submit to the State Board of Education and the State Department of Education a report on the progress of the college. This year's report, COVering the school year 1951—1952, actually begins the second fifty years in the history of the institution. Appropriately enough the college begins its "second fifty" with the beginning of the physical development of the Kellogg- Voorhis branch campus in the rapidly growing area of southern California. The Legislature, State Board of Education, State Department of Education, Committee for the Study of Higher Education, Kellogg Foundation, private citizens, other educational insti- tutions, as well as the young people of the state, have encouraged Cal Poly‘s expansion and continued progress. We are well aware of the responsibility we have been asked to assume in building a new Cal Poly at the Kellogg4Voorhis campus. If we are to be successful in carrying out the develop— ment of this new branch and at the same time continue to improve our program of occupational training at the San Luis Obispo campus, we will need the continued and active support of the State Board of Education, State Department of Education, and the Legislature. Respectfully submitted, q, Mm Julian A. McPhee, President
