This is the eleventh time I have pil, accepted the invitation of the editor of the Chippewa to write a fore- li' word for the annual. Instead of reviewing the past ten years, I prefer to look ahead into the next ten years. What may we hope for Central in the next decade? , Without doubt the dominating characteristic of the coming years ,lj here will be a finer spirit of scholarship. We V admit now only high ill school graduates and the life certificate course has been lengthened to three years. More and more, 'oy common consent if not by official re- quirement, the better students from high school graduating classes will lg come to Central. When a life certificate could be had by two years' Q in study, the Normal School was a short cut to a profession. The next ten lil years will see this largely changed. After 1931 no more two year life certificates will be given in Michigan. The additional year required I lj will elevate and dignify the profession of teaching as nothing else could lil possibly do. Besides, an increasing number of our Central life gradu- ates are sure to go on for the fourth year and the degree. -ll The presence on Central's campus of three hundred degree candi- 5 dates, twice as many as we have now, will make a marked difference in 'll the intellectual atmosphere of the school. Our beautiful new library will be filled more than our old one was with real students. More of them , will be here Saturday and Saturday night than now. Fewer will leave the campus for the-week end. Our courses of study will be different- gql iated more than at present and they will be arranged in sequence more W., than -now. More courses will be offered only for juniors and seniors ,,, and our Faculty will be augmented to this end. In line with the trend of teacher training everywhere we shall prepare our teachers more li specifically for their jobs. No longer will two year life- certificate pg graduates on the high school course be allowed to teach in the Kinder- I A garten and first grade. The increasing supply of applicants for teach- W, ers' certificates and the lengthened period of preparation will permit ll us both to select teachers for different sorts of positions, and to give 5 them more adequately the training they need for particular positions. Q V' In a word, as we look ahead, our big business here at Central is to make a college in fact. With the addition of our beautiful new admin- if F istration building and with the scholarly spirit always present here to- ! ii gether with the new' certificate regulations mentioned above, we shall I be able to achieve this goal fully and speedily. 1 , we 'I l il l ' ' i f f .
