Dtrector, Evening College Assistant to the President RICHARD R. MCGINNIS 1 Aw-Z M may - The cooperative inter-play between the Col- lege and the community in which it is located is ever-increasing, with the community support- ing the College and the College serving the com- munity. Evansville College has been, and is, continually striving to discover the higher edu- cational needs of the city and the Tri-State area and to fill those needs. To improve its service in both a cultural and vocational way in a balanced program, without emphasizing one at the expense of the other, the College has adopted The Urban Pattern, which carries out the aim of teaching both how to live and how to earn a living. Now in the midst of an expansion program, Evansville College will con- tinue in an even greater degree in the future to be a truly people's college. This year, 1946-47, is the greatest so far in the history of Evansville College. Enrollment has increased tremendously. In the first semester, 1,505 enrolled in the day classes as compared to 410 in 1945-46. Evening College enrollment the first semester reached 774, as compared with 503 for the past year. Students taking private music lessons increased from 390 to 528. The total enrollment, including classes for nurses, was 2,586 at the beginning of this col- lege year. This number was swelled to more The faculty was increased proportionately. The staff of Evansville College numbered 210 this year, including ll administrative officers, 69 full-time teachers, 44 part-time teachers, 18 teaching assistants, and 68 secretaries, cafeteria workers, custodians, and maintenance men. The new Science-Engineering Building will be completely ready for use at the opening of the fall semester next September. To meet the chal- lenge presented by the hundreds of veterans wanting to enroll last fall, preparations that were almost feverish were made with all possible speed in advance of the opening of the fall semester.

The challenge was metg and for the efliciency with which it was met, the President and the other administrative officers of the College deserve a hearty Well Done. than 3,000 for the year by new students enter- ing the day and evening classes the second semester.
