VICE PRESIDENT Dr. Everett W. Stephens The office of Vice President-Development is the most exciting spot on campus these days be- cause it is here that the Babson philosophy of ex- cellence in education is translated into programs of action. We are currently in the incubation stage of the first Babson multi-million dollar development drive. We are making an exhaustive self-evaluation right now, taking an in-depth look at every conceivable phase of the college-educational philosophy and goals, curriculum, quality of faculty, student services, physical plant needs, financial condition, complex- ion of management, etc. Out of this tremendous task of evaluation there must emerge a master plan of action tied to a de- velopment and capital-fund drive whose target dead- line is 1969-our 50th anniversary. To develop a master plan of action is the task of this oflice, with the help of just about everybody on campus from students to trustees to faculty and staff. Along with the development of the master plan must go the tooling up for that day in 1969 when the fund drive will be launched. Bits of evidence of action already underway can be found in the Stu- dent Center-a reflection of the spirit of cooperation between students and staff that has come to the fore- front in recent months. A similar working relation- ship is beginning to be evident within a variety of alumni projects. The new look in Admissions, the filmstrip, the upgrading of college literature, the modern format of the Alumni Bulletin-just to men- tion a few-give evidence of the Babson pursuit of excellence. Self-appraisal and the development of the master plan are in themselves a mammoth undertaking. The plan, however, when developed, cannot possibly be implemented without the very strong support, both in words and deeds, of alumni and friends. Our problem here is frightening to the faint of heart, but we are not faint-hearted.
