SS) SS Se eres eer mcrmneem (Che, SG) x9) coer eee aaeeremn ( the enrollment of this year over that of last year, is a sign of the regard of those who matriculate. And last of all but by no means least, the record of the Athletic Teams of the past year and the Schedules secured for the coming year, exhibit the spirit of the men who are willing to fight for victory, not for themselves, but for their Alma Mater. Now all of these,—Ideals, Material Plant, Endowment, Enrollments, Recognition, Athletics and what we have been calling here the ‘‘ Ashland Spirit,’’ elements that enter so largely into the fundamental life of a modern college,—all these in the Future must be advanced with the needs of the newer day. The future of education in America is bright. Why? Because, first of all, young people in inereasing numbers are entering college, the result of which must be that America will have a better educated citizenry in the future than it has had in the past. That is the promising element in the field of higher education just now. What is the word of promise for Ashland in the tomorrow? Just this, just what has been mentioned, —loyal friends who will assist in bringing about the advancements which will enable her to play her part well in the future. Ashland has a sacred duty towards young people who may come this way. She will not shrink and she dare not fail. Let us dream a bit then, and yet not only dream, for plans are under way to make these dreams come true. A student body of at least two hundred, all of college rank, at the percent of increase of last year will be realized the fourth year from now,— when Freshmen will be Seniors. An adequate Library will have been erected by next Thanksgiving. Four new and modern recitation rooms will be ready by that time. Ade- quate and fully equipped Chemical, Physical, Home Economies, and Biological Labora- tories will be ready by the opening of the school year in September, 1922. A new and modern method of filing and keeping records with a paid Registrar, full time Librarian, and two new Professors are improvements that will be here before the next Pine Whis- pers comes from the press. A plan to allow Professors a leave of absence for advanced study on pay, will mate- rially add to the spirit of scholarship already high at Ashland. An Inter-High Basketball Touranment with thirty high schools participating inside the next three years, will add zest to the Athletic Program, already well organized and controlled. And, desideratum bonum, the Alumni and Alumnae will be organized, inter- ested, loyal, and will make our yearly home-coming an event long to be remembered. Ashland’s future? Here it is!
