Welcome to Hardin-Simmons
You have reached a goal of high purpose. Congratulations!
Your entrance to college has taken careful planning and steady effort. Now
you and your family are undertaking a very large investment in your future.
Lei's take a realistic look at one phase of the investment involved.
You will discover many significant changes as you enter college and accept
the responsibilities of college students. One of the changes you will encounter
relates to your individual responsibility to provide your own textbooks ref-
erence materials and supplies. Thus far these necessary materials were in all
probability provided without expense to you. Your parents paid for them in
the taxes which supported your elementary and secondary school education
or by direct purchases. The textbooks were essential to your education then
providing material for the preparation of your classes and guiding your home-
work assignments. These textbooks helped your teachers prepare you for col-
lege more expeditiously than would otherwise have been possible.
Now in college you will find the textbook more important than ever before.
Enrollments are rising libraries are crowded and you will be expected to sup-
plement lectures and discussions with more intensive oui-of-class reading as-
signments than ever before in your important role as student.
You will find that your college instructor will encourage you to own and
constantly use essential basic textbooks. These textbooks were selected from
many available by an academic committee or by individual instructors because
they met the requirements of each specific course. Further the instructors may
recommend or assign reference books. Many of these reference books such as
dictionaries mathematics tables and glossaries will serve you throughout your
college career and ultimately become essential tools of your profession. The
analogy has been drawn that a college student without a textbook is like a
carpenter without a hammer or a surgeon without scapel. Owning your own
books will increase your efficiency guide your efforts suggest valuable refer-
ences and help every step of the way to accomplish your aims to which you
and your family have contributed to much over many years.
While you are in college you will find that many people are working with
you to help vou achieve your goals. Among this group of vitally interested
persons is your college bookstore manager and his staff who. in cooperation
with your instructors will have available iho textbooks and reference books
will need. Your bookstore manager xnrougn cu iuu "

assist you in achieving during your college years the finest education avail-
able in the world the American College Education.
So again congratulations! Visit your bookstore often. Discover the many
services your bookstore can give so that you may gain a full realization of the
opportunity you and your family have wished for. The books you purchase
will be penny for penny the best investment of your college years and many of
them will be the backbone of your future professional and personal libraries.
The cost of these books will be but a small part of your college budget but
they will make second only to the dedication of your teachers the most signi-
ficant contribution to your entire college education.
