THE MAPLE LEAP change. In former years when the first buildings were erected, and the pros- pects of the college were not so large, a smaller quadrangle had been planned. And thus it happened that the older dormitory, now known as East Hall had to be removed. So after due eousideratiou, it was consigned to a contractor to be deported to a new foundation. It soon began to prepare to make its trip Its foundations gi-adually were destroyed and its weight was rested upon the strong jack-.screw. And finally it was pronounced loaded . But alas, it l)roved a bulky load. Vainly did the cables strain to pull it from its er.stwhile resting place. They coaxed and wheedled it. But it refused to move. And stubbornly persisted until the winter made its will be law. Thus it gained a respite. But wlu ' ii the gentler zei)liyrs wokt-, a stronger force with al)ler hitch took it in tow. Now with a slow but steady speed she gradually went forward though jeluetantly. At last there came a day when her last inch had cleared the campus confines. And now this building first in time and most useful in its day, rests on a foundation all its own on the north side of College Avenue, op- posite and facing the campus. With this building removed, the campus will be graded, dri -eways will be laid out. walks be put down and the ground will be planted with trees and shrubbery. Sites for later buildings will be reserved. So in due course of time, there will therefore appear other and significant changes that will be the .signs of the material progress of the institution. Nor will, with these added advantages for usefulness, the element of beauty be wanting. As then we take this retrospective look and recount in these brief lines, the important changes %vrought in this short interval of time, we naturally wonder what the future has in store for Goshen College. In thought we can project ourselves into the future and see upon this same campus an institution larger in its physical content, increased in its facilities, and stronger in its departments of instruction. The empty spaces waiting for the new buildings will then be filled. Increasingly larger classes will issue forth from out its halls, to carry its ideals into life and its active pursuits. Its name and fame will reach to many places where it is now unknown. But in its prosperity we trust it will never lose sight of its ideals of sei ' vice for the good and kind, nor its loyalty and devotion to duty and truth. For the real institution is not the out- con- cretely expressed in buildings and stone, but is bound up in its ideals of the heart and to properly accomplish its end, these ideals must be interwoven into the finer fabric of heart, power and life. — D.
