Fort Hays State Grows Out of Pioneer’s Dream o many, the idea of a school of higher education in Western Kansas seemed infeasible, but a few pioneers worked to fulfill the goal. Such was the dream of Martin Allen, But almost 30 years elapsed from the time when Allen first recommended the plan until the opening day of classes in 1902, His foresight proved fruitful, for FHS has continued to grow. This year library facilities were transferred from die old building to a $L 500,000, three-level struc- ture, which tripled space With enrollment expected to near 7,000 by 1970, plans have been completed for an adequate power plant, and construction on a new men’s residence hall adjacent to Wiest Hall will begin soon. Zest for fun pervades college life. A tug of war defeat at Homecoming will remain just as memorable as a victory. Continually before collegians lies the challenge of broadening their knowledge and sharpening their capabilities.
