SCOTT Executive Committee Of tlae Campaign Frmd FRED O. BOHEN GARDNER COWLES, JR. RALPH JESTER, CHAIRMAN GROVER C. HUBBELL HERBERT L. HORTON RAKES postwar expansion will cover a period of ten years and cost more than ten million dollars. The plans for this development are ready, complete in detail. Last No- vember the university began the hrst lap of this program-a drive to raise two million dollars. The achievement of this goal has been made possible by the strenuous efforts of many people, including the executive committee for the campaign. Des Moines business firms, loyal Drake alumni, and other interested individuals have contributed generously. Aside from an addition to the endowment fund, the money will be used to purchase ground to more than dou- ble the size of the present campus, to build a new science building, a new classroom building, a new pharmacy college, a new Bible college and prayer chapel, a new women's dormi- tory, a new men's dormitory, to add a wing to the present women's dormitory, and to remodel and renovate present buildings. The Ten-Year Program, which is designed to bring Drake to its fullest potentialities, provides for buildings and facilities to assure its future among the top schools of the country. 6

: ' ' '-'f 'tW2 s.. 1- i j vu. in .. .i 4. ii 11 ! . Q fi . In recent years universities have had a double task. They have carried on the traditional functions of teaching and re- search plus the responsibility of planning for a greatly enlarged and enriched program to meet the postwar responsibilities which will be the greatest ever faced by American schools. Q I know no way to judge the future but by the past, was the conviction of Patrick Henry. Drake University chooses to chart its future according to its experience of the past. It means a continued emphasis on superior teaching and a sharing of the learning experience between teacher and student. lt means we shall remember that an excellent faculty and a splendid library are essential to proper educational environment. It means sustained effort to admit those students who are best qualified to profit by the opportunities of a collegiate experience. It means that Drake will continue to study youth's needs for tomorrow. The future appears to demand certain refinements in curriculum which our faculties are evolving. The future demands more endowment that the economic foundation of the academic program may continue to be impregnable. The future de- mands much more campus and many more buildings for instruction, research and residence. As the faculties plan Drake's educational program for tomorrow, the Board of Trustees, alumni and a legion of friends are providing for its future physically and economically. Already, despite war, these persons have added substantially to the University's endowment. They have made possible the purchase of land to more than double the size of the campusg they have provided money to build an addition to the women's dormitory, a new women's dormitory, another men's dormi- tory, a liberal arts and journalism building, a pharmacy building and a science building. Much more is already projected. From our past we have taken our respect for high standards of scholarshipg our realization of the central place the stu- dent must have in university lifeg our emphasis upon preparation for full and constructive citizenship in a growing world democracy. From our past experience we can anticipate the tremendous responsibilities which will fall upon universities at the close of the war. With confidence born of years of significant service to youthg with the inspiration that comes from the presence of many friendsg with enthusiasm for the challenging task that lies before it-DRAKE LOOKS TO THE FUTURE. 5 i
