Million Dollar corporation and 1tS annual budget reaches the sum of Sf, f, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Three-quarters of this growth i . i is in the last quarter ofa century.

' Gym 'NG ' 1l Alfred holds a place among the standard colleges of the country, both according to the standards of the Association of American Colleges and also the higher standards adopted by the State of New York and by the Association of Colleges of the Middle States. il Alfred's faculty bring to their tasks an unusual equipment of graduate study and advanced degrees. The present faculty have never been equalled in that respect by any previous faculty. 1lAthletics have been reorganized under a Professor of Physical Education who is also Coach of Athletics. An Alumni Advisory Board has been appointed, and athletics are put on a sound educational and ethical basis. 1l A freshman class above seventy-five and a college enrollment exceeding two hundred are prophetic of a student body soon to tax to its utmost the present equipment. il To meet this enlarging demand, the Trustees have adopted a new forward-looking Million Dollar Program. This is designed to double the present resources and capacity of the Col- lege, by raising: I. A three hundred thousand dollar endowment fund to cover costs ofincreased salaries, retiring allowances, and enlarged operating expenses. ' 5,300,000 2.
