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.

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
