J-A K p .W Q.. 2 Looking Forward Washington and Jefferson College was fairly well financed when the cost of upkeep was low and the number of students attend- ing could be cared for by one professor in a department. But that day has Passed. The enormous increase in the running expense budget and the large and rapid increa.se of the student body has made imperative the gathering of additional income-bearing endowment. The college authorities, realizing that the day of larger things is upon them, are making an effort to increase the permanent funds of the College by a total of S2,500. 000 within five years, the present goal is to gather a total of 51,000,000 before Com- mencement 1922. Pledges from various boards and individuals, aggregating ap- proximately S500,000 have been made con- ditionally upon a total of 51,000,000 being attained. The three points at which advancement is contemplated are: 1-Increase of teaching force and equip- ment. Itisafundamental principal at Wash- ington and Jefferson College to secure and retain high-grade, well prepared teachers and, so far as practicable, the latest and best equipment. This is often done at the cost of new buildings and other improve- ments that would add greatly to both com- fort and convenience. Every professor at Washington and Jefferson College is a specialist in his line, having done post- graduate work in the best institutions of America and Europe. 2-If the present campaign is successful, at least three new buildings will be added to the present equipment, a large Hall to care for commencement exercises, lectures, concerts and all such gatherings. The base- ,ment of this Hall would be designed to care for large social gatherings, banquets, etcg a new Dormitory. At the present time, more than half of each incoming class is com- pelled to find quarters in the private homes and fraternity houses of Washington. It is hoped that the time is not far distant when all incoming men will spend at least their first Year in C0llege buildings: a new Chem- iSU'Y Building. Much emphasis is being placed upon this subject at the present time. The highest grade courses are being offered. Graduates of this department take high 1'anking in the business world and also in the medical schools which many enter. With the building formerly used by the Academy serving the Department of Biology, the new Chemistry Building will give the College adequate equipment for the present demand. 3-Scholarships. Every year twice as many men apply for scholarship grants as we are able to aid. Many of the boys from our constituency are from homes of moder- ate circumstances and the present high cost of living makes very desirable, in many cases absolutely necessary, some financial assistance. The establishment of such a Foundation enables the donor, once his scholarship is fully established, to ,con- tribute annually toward the education of some worthy young man. By the aid of these scholarships, scores of men, both in past time and at the present, are securing a college education who. without this aid, would be unable to have it. The cooperation of all who desire to see advanced the type of education offered at Washington and Jefferson College will be greatly appreciated. The President of the College will be more than glad to enter into correspondence with every interested friend. ..32..-
