President ' s Message to the Members of the Mid -Century Class To you wlio are about to be graduated I give my greetings. Kducatioiially you belong to the first half of tiie twentietii century. ocationally you stand on the thresii- old of the second half. The historian of the years to come will mark the years from 1900 to 1950 as the period of great changes. An amazing number of inventions and discoveries have left a tremendous impact upon our habits of thinking and living. Almost unbelievably great changes have come in our method of travel, communication, and recreation. Fifty years ago Elizabethtown College was founded by broadminded, far-seeing men who opened its doors on equal terms to youth of all races, creeds, and nationalities. To make this dream of half a hundred years ago a reality, men and women in large numbers were obliged to sacrifice, plan, and work. A half century ago Elizabethtown College started with one building. Alpha Hall — located in a wheatfield on a farm east of Elizabethtown — five students, one teacher, a budget of $4,000, a library of 100 volumes, and no alumni. Today as we come to the mid-century, the college is housed in nine buildings, has over 750 students (including summer-session registrants) and a 33-member faculty. It operates on a budget of over a quarter million dol- lars, houses approximately 17,000 volumes in the library, and has an alumni-former student roster of more than 10,000. The college has grown strong, until today it is fully accredited by the State Department of Public Instruction and tiie regional accrediting agencies and holds membership in the leading educational associations of the nation. 10
