Looking Toward the Future. .,., . HE past year has been one of achievement in the history of the College of Emporia. During that time the lower east hallway in Stuart Hall, to- gether with the new biological laboratory museum and recitation room, have been completed. The faculty has been strengthened by the services of Professor Nurse and Mrs. Eleanor Christian, both of whom have become gee 39, popular and influential in the life of the school. During the past year the endowment of the college has been increased to fifty thousand dollars and bio Cerfs larger gifts than ever before have come to the school for the current expense fund from the Presbyterian churches and friends in Kansas. It has not yet been possible to sell the Lewis Academy building in Wichita. This building is valued at fifty thousand dollars. But as soon as it can be sold, part of the money will be put into the endowment fund, and about thirty thousand dollars used to erect a new Academy building upon the campus at Emporia. We believe that the college has today an unusually strong faculty and stands for an unusually high grade of work from the standpoint of scholarship. We believe that the social and moral atmosphere of the school, and the ideals of the students, make this both an attract- ive and helpful school, a place where young men and women are fitted for noble and high minded service to the age in which we live. As we look forward to the future, we wish that we could describe the College of Emporia as the institution is destined to appear at commencement day in 1920. We believe that when some of the members of the class of 1910 reassemble upon commencement day ten years hence, they will find Twelfth Avenue a broad and well paved boulevard leading to the gates of the college. On either side of the avenue will stand the homes of the members of the faculty. As they come to the college gateway they will see the beautiful green campus, as smooth as a well kept lawn, surrounded by the stately trees, beneath whose shade they used to walk. At the center of the campus will stand historic old Stuart Hall, endeared by the strivings of earlier years. As they look about the crescent driveway and the cement walks that reach to every part of the campus, they will see to the westward of Stuart Hall a handsome science building, and just beyond it a pond and a garden of wild flowers belonging to the depart- ment of Biology. To the eastward of the library building they will see the fine building of Lewis Academy. At the southeast corner of the campus they will see the beautiful and spacious Girls' Dormitory, the fund for whose erection was started during the year 1909. At the southwest corner of the campus they will see a handsome Boys' Dormitory. Then they will hasten through the grounds to the north of Stuart Hall where a splendid gymnasium will stand by the side of the well kept athletic field. They will mount into the crowded grand- stand and watch a spirited game between the Seniors and Faculty. They will gather after the commencement address in the new gymnasium, for the alumni banquet, and they will listen while the graduates of 1920 tell them that the ideals and standards of the college in scholar- ship, social life and spiritual influence have not been lowered. The graduates of other years will come from many parts of the world to tell of the service which they have been rendering to humanity in many walks of life, and they will acknowledge their indebtedness to the College of Emporia, as the place where visions of service together with ideals of noble charac- ter were held before them. They will join together in singing the old college songs and pledging renewed fidelity to this college, with whose fortunes and ideals their lives have been so closely intertwined A ' ns.
