In that year were begun the first two units of a building program, which it is believed will, in the years to come, bring into being on the University campus a physical plant that will be worthy of the intellectual and moral aims and ambitions of the institution. After many years of delay, the legislature of 1925 appropriated 5ilS650,000 for new buildings, leaving it to the Trustees to determine how many buildings should be constructed, but stipulating that there should be one building for agriculture and one for engineering. Very wisely the Trustees decided to use all the money for these two structures rather than to divide it up into a number of smaller sums which would allow for buildings so small that they would be inadequate even for present necessities. With a foresight which has often been lacking in the management of universities, the Trustees first employed a competent firm of archi- tects to make a group plan of the campus, projecting buildings that would ultimately be sufficient for a University of eight thousand stu- dents. To some this may seem like looking unnecessarily far into the future, but we who have an abiding faith in the future of Arkansas do not think so. With a present enrollment of about eighteen hundred, and with an average increase of about two hundred a year, as has occurred in the period since the war, the University would reach eight thousand students in about thirty years, i The history of state universities in America shows, however, that the rapid development of a state has always been followed by a rapid increase in the number of students seeking admission to the university. At the present time many conditions seem to point to the prospect of great development in Arkansas within the next twenty years. If that comes about, the need for all the projected buildings will not be long deferred. jmfigawa ' I
