EDUCATION BUILDING still in service, now as the Senior High. The old Normal building was torn down in 1916. From the faculty of the old Normal there are three on the present teaching force of Teachers College, and of the first faculty of the new State Normal there are still four with us. We now have three large, beau- tiful, modern class-room buildingsq our faculty exceeds one hundred efficient and trained instructors, who are graduates from some of the leading colleges and universities in the United States, Ger- many, Hungary, and Franceg and our enrollment consists of more than three thousand intelligent and energetic young men and women, not only from the southwest district, but from all parts of the United States, from Mexico, France, Switzerland, and Hawaii. As we look backward over the footprints in the sand of time, we see the annals ofSouthwest Missouri State Teachers College richly emblazoned upon the history of education of Southwest Missouri, and as we look out across the untrampled sands of the future, we see on the not distant horizon a leader among leaders in the educational institutions of the time-our own beloved Southwest Missouri State Teachers College-a true mecca of learning, of guidance and of inspiration! 20
