Some say that this distinction is best achieved by bringing together a notable body of men in the faculty, distinguished in their lines of effort. Their reputation would call together a high grade body of students, who would fill the accommoda- tions of the college to overflowing. This method would doubtless accomplish results but it would call for expendi- tures far beyond the means of the college at present, though it might well remain an ideal to be striven for in the future. Some would have the numbers in the college remain small. They would have a carefully selected, though not necessarily high priced faculty of fairly good size, brought together in the college. This faculty would have thorough oversight of the students and give them the utmost attention, a hand picked method of educa- tion. This is a good plan but few alumni want to see the college remain small. They desire to see it expand, not to the dimensions of a university perhaps, but to those of a larger college. ; The writer, while believing in the plans proposed, while b elieving in the neces- sity of careful, scholarly work as one essential in the greatness of Beloit, yet believes that the college ought to achieve distinction by the service it renders to the world. Beloit ought to be a laboratory where some of the great problems which perplex the world might be studied and the results of these studies broadcasted to the world. If it can enter this kind of service it will become a distinguished college, one that would satisfy my ideal. Te LE.

DOULOUUUOUAUCALOLARURNDRLULGUUDUERURRORORNNOD Eee QO i K PU LO Vice-PresipDENT Louis E, Hotpen On Te (Gea, BeAS Dates alee alana A greater Beloit in the truest sense can only mean an increased number of such men on the faculty,—men whose scholarship and personality attract and whose enthusiasm for thorough scholarship is contagious and will arouse in their students the desire to do their best and to emulate their teachers. The world recognizes the fact that such men are invaluable as teachers of youth. If Beloit is going to continue its own splendid record it must have a much larger endowment than it has at present in order to guarantee to the future the Beloit type of teachers that we as boys had. The very times in which we live make us to realize anew the vicarious sacrifice that such men made for us. They gave themselves and all that they possessed that we might see life as they saw it, and be willing to serve our day and generation as they served theirs. A greater Beloit will also mean a building period,—an enlargement of the phy- sical plant. It seems to me that it would be advisable at this time to employ a first class architect to make a study of our present conditions and to harmonize the new building period with the Beloit of today, in color scheme and building material. The second great need of the college is a dormitory for men. If we are to pre- serve the democracy of Beloit college we should have an up-to-date fireproof dormitory for men. We want Beloit to be a place where a poor boy can come and by mere virtue of character and ability be everything that any other can be or do. The third great need of Beloit is that of a recitation hall for the humanities. Nearly all of the work of the academic department of a college, except the sciences, is now carried on in the venerable Middle college, erected in 1847, and in North college, erected in 1854, we realize that the need of a new recitation hall is very urgent.

Alumni have always been mainly interested in their college as they remember it. I make my appeal particularly to our women. The matter has been definitely settled that women are in Beloit college to stay. Consequently, there are very definite aims that must be realized for the women at Beloit. In our Greater Beloit, there are at least five definite ideals. We need a women’s dormitory unit, large and modern, near Emerson Hall, on the ‘Women’s Campus”. We need a Women’s Building, or Union, where we may have centralized the necessary facilities necessary for the intellectual, religious and social interests of the women. We want a full college curriculum and such methods of teaching as shall meet the needs of women. We want scholarships for women at Beloit, and the endowment to be such that it will not be necessary to increase the student expenses. We want a wholesome, social life for Beloit women. The tides of young life flowing into the college can be directed into the proper channels. It is mainly a matter of expression rather than repression with which we have to deal. It is not primarily a matter of rules and regulations, though these have their places ‘ts a great desire of ours to help our women to understand themselves, with insight and with power. Along with group loyalties we desire a democratic social life. We want our good times to be vital, not hectic. We want individual morality. We want a social life within the college tempered by an intelligent sense of the world’s larger life outside. bo ho PNT MMLC 19.
