President John H. Dawson In time to come, Adrian students and alumni will remember 1956-57 as the year of the “Breaking of the Barriers”. Two new dormitories arose to the break the barrier to comfort represented by antiquated residence facilities. The Library became more than adequate, yea, an outstandingly equipped and staffed academic and cultural resource. Scholastic standards advanced mightily to bring our Institution to the forefront among American Church- related colleges. Student and faculty morale and achievements brought pride and further prestige to the campus, and growing respect for Alma Mater in every area where her name and achievements were heard. And so, we dedicate this Mound of 1956-57 to the New Adrian College, grateful in the knowledge that need no longer wait for the morrow. Tomor- row can only provide its abundances.
