As we, on the 6Qth anniversary of the college, look into the future we are able to envision a dormitory for 250 men, a student union building-field house, a new Business Education building, and a chapel-audi- torium. The College continues to grow physically as it continues to uphold the basic principles of genuine culture which have characterized it for the past 60 years. The New Men ' s Dormitory. . . .

Many milestones can be found in the history of the College dating from that eventful year of 1899. The College board of trustees has, per- haps, played the most important role in the accomplishment of each milestone. Through the years it has been the duty of the trustees to carry out the desires of the original founders while making decisions that would further progress in the changing times. They have always been concerned with expanding the facilities of the College to provide better education for more people. At the annual meeting of the board of trustees, one of the chief items on the agenda was the development program. A recommendation calling for five additional buildings on the campus was approved. Without the efforts of the trustees the College could not have maintained the standards expressed by the founders. From their decisions and their activities, the public at large judges the College as a whole. The destiny of this institution and her students rests on their shoulders. Thus, the trustees are the backbone of the College. 17
