The 48^th Anniversary Conference was held at the University of Illinois, Champaign and Urbana. A record 3,105 Arrowmen attended the meeting. The Conference theme was “Catch the Higher Vision”, the name of a recently completed painting by artist Joseph Csatari. The 1963 NOAC followed the pattern of the past several conferences. Training sessions were again a primary purpose of the meeting. Always a highlight of a conference, the OA Distinguished Service Awards (DSA) were presented. As had become the tradition, Founder E. Urner Goodman gave the closing challenge.
