A CHALLENGE TO THE FUTURE ET THE FACE as well as the name of the college has changed Within the last century. Both aca- demic and living facilities were added to Old Dorm and Glatfelter Hall. The building program of the last decade has provided superior facilities demanded by the increase in number and ability of the Gettysburg College students. With this centennial year, therefore, the emphasis Will change. The growth of the college itself indicates that the reputa- tion of Gettysburg as a battleground Will become secondary to that of the institution. The goal of the next hundred years, then, is not to perpetuate the memory of a past struggle, but to realize the need for a thor- ough liberal education in order to prepare for the struggle of the future. Gettysburg as a battle site is only significant in sotar as the purposes of the war-freedom and equality of opportunity -remain. The name of Gettysburg Will transcend this reputation of the past, and shortly the mention of it Will recall the institution -an increasingly important and significant liberal arts college in Pennsylvania.
