way possible, seeking out those students who are able and willing to take full advantage of a Franklin and Marshall education. Various studies of facilities have been made, and it is clear that there will have to be provision for additional library facilities within the next decade. If the antici- pated increase to 1600 students should come to pass, additions to present facilities, or new facilities, would need to be provided in the science areas. So far as extra- academic facilities are concerned, an increase in the student body would of course make necessary the build- ing of at least one new dormitory, and the building of a Student Union building appears to be a prime neces- sity. In summary, the achievement of our educational pur- pose will make necessary analysis and improvement with respect to the following: faculty competence and teach- ing loads, improving salaries and fringe benefits, the re- cruitment of able students, increasing financial aid to students, an independent study and a gifted student program, a possible program for study abroad, increas- ing the number of overseas students on our campus, im- proving student services, the use of technological aids, maximum space utilization, the provision of new facili- ties, and the financing of the foregoing. In order to facilitate continued long range planning, it is anticipated that a department of institutional re- Eearch will bc established at the College in the near uture. 2 2+ v 11,1 Z2 I-I-vii gift 22-4554 ll' :liar il-il W2 ,l . :fn 5.-1 .ix 13 C Q, ,lf at I v In I f of 's 'lf W' V ffi gk.

One is the inauguration of a new cur- riculum and the second the inauguration of long range planning. At no time in the long history of the College has such searching inquiry been made into its academic program and into the purposes and objectives which shall direct it in future years. The new curriculum is the product of three years of intensive study by faculty, administration, students, alum- ni and trustees. In essence it provides a broader educa- tion for the under raduate in that a greater diversity and an increased numlllner of courses are a part of the gen- eral educationn or distribution, requirements for grad- uation. At the same time it reduces the course load to four per semester thus concentrating the student's efforts and giving greater opportunity for independence and individual initiative in his pursuit of knowledge. The study of a discipline in depth has been retained. Con- stant evaluation of the new program will be carried on in order that its potential will be realized. The prevailing assumption underlying the initiation of long range planning has been that excellence should be the concern of every public', connected with Frank- lin and Marshall Colle e, and that it should extend to all areas of college life. The problem of improving student quality is one of the most immediate and pressing problems we face, and demands the highest priority of concern. It is clear that we must strengthen admissions procedures in every
