A Look Forward IX May, 1927, Atlantic Christian College will have reached its twenty-fiftli year of service. Let us consider the college as it is today and ask what changes we trust will have been made bv its twenty-fifth birthday. Let us admit frankly our present lack of many things which should he secured. In spite of the money that has been expended in improvements about the buildings and for library and laboratory equipment, we still feel the insufficiency of our equipment in these respects. In spite of the enlarged support in the way of college students and in the way of maintenance we still feel keenly the need of a larger student body and of greater support in the way of money and students. In view of these facts let us state our ideal for the year 1927: First, a new location containing at least fifty or sixty acres with ample room not only for the college proper and athletic grounds, but also providing room for expansion. On this location there must he erected two dormitories each housing one hundred students, and an administration building for classes and office purposes, a central heating plant, and a gymnasium. This arrangement should be made with some view to artistic design and architectural beauty. Behind this external equipment there must he the united body of the Disciples of Christ, led by the preachers of the two Carolinas. Any program in the state that does not take the ministers into consideration and regard their help as essen- tial will fall short of our purpose. This hacking on the part of the church would he shown in two ways: First:—A student body of two hundred and fifty. Second:—An increased maintenance budget for the college. This maintenance fund from the church should reach twenty-five thousand dollars a year, which, with a $500,000 endowment would put the college in safetv if period of depression should come. The immediate steps in this program demand : First:—Addition of fifty students a year to our present enrollment for the next three years. « Second:—Loyal support of Atlantic Christian College Development Campaign which will be put on in a short time. Third:—Contribution from our people in the state to the endowment and main- tenance funds of the College. To such a program we summon the alumni, the constituency, the present students of Atlantic Christian College with all friends of Christian education in every place. iiiiiiiiiMir.iiiiMMiiiiMitiitiiitiMniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiitiiiiiMiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMihMiiMiiMiMiiMiiimiiiiiiilMiiiimimmmnmiimmmmiitmiumiiiimiiimmMmMmmimiiiimiiiniiMimi: [ Page Twenty-five ]
