M COLLEGE grows as the result of someone ' s dreams and plans. McKendree has •■ ■ plans and dreams for expansion in the future including several new buildings. Some dreams of a better McKendree began to be realized this year as several projects were completed. The library was redecorated and a new lighting system was installed. The business offices were redecorated and refurnished, and extensive improvements were made in the heating system. Largest single improvement was the redecoration and re- furnishing of the dining hall, the installation of new lights, and the addition of a new piano and I lammond organ there. Two new buildings have been proposed and sketches and blueprints have been drawn up. These are the new science hall and the gymnasium-auditorium. Bevond these there are dreams of more new buildings to follow a long range expansion plan that will once more make McKendree the best in the Middle West .

administration and staff As McKendree slowly assumes the New Look , we must not forget that the man responsible for most of the transformation is President Carl C. Bracy. Since his arrival here four years ago, he has become well known by, and endeared to the hearts of, all the students. That he has worked diligently and untiringly for the betterment of the school is evidenced by the progress made. With such an able leader the future cannot help but he more rich and full than the past has been glorious. Ml those who have come into contact with Dean Lewis B. Van Winkle, who is also our registrar, have found him to be a just and wise man. Although many students do not fully understand the functions ot his office, it is one of importance in the administration of the college. It is .1 position filled with conflicts that only students can create. Since coming to McKendree Dean Van Winkle has introduced many progressive ideas. Carl C. Bracy, A.B., Th.M., D.D.
