PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Perhaps few colleges have grown up as suddenly as has Indiana Techni- cal College. One day our faculty and student body occupied approximately 40,000 square feet in a downtown building, part of which was a converted mortuary. The next day the students and faculty held classes on a campus of twenty-two buildings occupying more than twenty acres! (Those of you who were here in the summer of 1957 know that the transition, while not quite as dramatic as that, was almost as sudden! ) The root growth of Tech since its inception in 1930 made possible this sudden fruition. Fertile seed has been planted in well-tilled soil. Each of us — faculty member and student — has worked vigorously and God has blessed our efforts! On our new campus evidence of growth is all about us. The new Dana Sci- ence Building gives testimony of continuous growth and expansion. Through the years, buildings will be added to help meet the ever-increasing respon- sibilities which confront institutions of higher learning. Brick, mortar and modern buildings, however, do not make a college. The essence of a college is a competent faculty, teaching curious and sincere students. We, the faculty and Administration of Indiana Technical College, pledge to you, the students, our best efforts. ARCHIE T. KEENE, President . -■:. ... ■ .. ■ ■■■■■■. .. ' ■■■■ .
