...HIS Nl SSAGE The theme of the 1947-48 Differential is well chosen. In these challenging times, we must pause to take stock and then Blueprint the Future. As my first year of service as president of Case comes to a close, I find myself encouraged and inspired by the visions of the future which lie before us. What has been accomplished this year is not yet fully apparent, but enough light is showing through the doorway to make us eagerly await the Blueprint , The Case Self Survey has been the instrument through which an imaginative plan for the college is to be developed. For more than seven months, a substantial number of the faculty has been engaged in lengthy. . .and at times, heated. . .discussions of better teaching, student activities, physical education, research, and a host of other subjects. As the Differential goes to press, the first committee reports are being submitted, in another six months, we hope this blueprint of Case's future will be ready. The most tangible evidence of the kind of place Case will be in the future is the opening of Tomlin- son Hall. It marks a tremendous forward step in the development of full campus life for students and faculty alike. It is a living symbol of the fact that today's dreams and blueprints are the essence of tomorrow's more abundant life. And as another symbol of Case's intention of main- taining its heritage in science, we have this year put into operation our betatron. . .an instrument which will keep Case in the front ranks of the institutions carrying on studies in nuclear energy. These are the outward and visible signs of your college's progress. But colleges are made up of other things than brick and mortar, laboratories and classrooms. Our first concern in the blue- print of tomorrow is with men. . .men who will be great teachers, men who will develop into tomorrow's leaders. For myself, I am most encouraged by the healthy undercurrent of optimism pervading the thinking of the men who make up Case. Once we have chartered our course for the future, I am convinced that the development of the physical plant from the stage of blueprint to reality will take place readily. The Case of the future will owe much, I am confident, to the dreams, the hard work, the confidence of its faculty and students of 1947-48. We are. . .as this Differential has so effectively designated this year. . .now in the blueprint stageg but our future takes its shape from what we do today. Out of this year's plans, I am confident a greater Case will emerge. - 5-. .Yf f--7L..,. The Presider1t's Home . . . with wife ond family.
