PA 1 § I I 1 I il AKE NO LITTLE PLANS. Robert Richard Martin quoted Chicago architect Daniel Burnham November 16. 1960, as he addressed East- ern Kentucky State College ' s Board of Regents and Faculty on the eve of his inauguration as Eastern ' s sixth president. They have no magic to stir men ' s biood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a nohle, logical dia- gram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with evergrowing insistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let our watch- word be order and our beacon beauty. Think big! The 100-year-history of higher education on the campus of Eastern Ken- tucky University is a chronicle of big thinkers. The men who, in the after- math of the Civil War, planted higher education here in the form of Central University certainly made no little plans. Neither did the men who kept high- er education alive here through Walters Collegiate Institute; nor those who fought for the creation of a normal school at Richmond. They did, as the quote says, create a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing in- sistency. This is the storv of the fruits of their labors. B B pj. Mi pj. € H B |3 m pj.
