Progress is visibly unlimited on the MTSC campus today. As we live each day, we are aware of it all around us. The completion of the new administration building is a triumph felt by perhaps every individual on campus. The facilities offered by the Dramatic Arts Building have opened up endless opportunities in the fields of theatre and speech. Already construction is underway for new dormitories . . . progress never stops. No longer is expansion merely a dream of the future, but rather our hopes have been realized, new doors are opened to us each day, recognition is gained, and a new sense of love and respect is felt by everyone who is a part of this institution. But progress will not cease now. With the gaining of university status and the constantly increasing enrollment, higher standards are demanded, further forward movement is evoked and we will continue to grow and flourish . . . the product of time and ambition and dedication.

MTSC . ■. its future Much of the impetus for growth in the future will come from the at- tainment of university status by our Alma Mater. For the moment, the changeover from college to uni- versity will be somewhat equivalent to the change of labels on a bottle. However, under the new aegis stem challenges will generate curricular changes and possibly even new ob- jectives. There are evidences that this has already begun. On the draw- ing board are plans for a new science building and apartments for married students. In President Cope ' s office is the master dream plan which projects ever-expanding facilities on the campus that we love. But brick and mortar do not an Alma Mater make. However much that it changes physically during those years ahead, it will stil l remain OUR institution. At convo- cation time we took much of it away. But we also left a part of ourselves.
