THE P LAN AND ITS Founded 1858 — designated a land grant college 1862 — published its first year- book in 1893 — each date marks a period of progress for Iowa State College. And now with its fiftieth anniversary edition for 1942, the Bomb establishes another milestone for this institution in its growth from infancy to maturity. Retrospection through the years brings the realization that Iowa State Col- lege has grown by a plan as definite as any blueprint. Divisions, departments, curri- cula and even buildings, once hazy blueprints stored away in the minds of early leaders, have steadily taken shape. One of the Mid-west ' s finest golf courses, the serv- ice building, the new women ' s gymnasium and recent additional dormitory facili- ties for both men and women are some of the latest additions to our campus. The first faculty of Iowa State College, under the leadership of President A. S. Welch, inaugurated standards that stressed scholarship, fundamental research and instruction in the sciences and technology. Science With Practice not only be- came the motto and trade-mark, but the very foundation of the college program. The early conception of science applied to the every-day affairs of life has de- veloped through the years into the present important emphasis placed on actual work in the field and in the research laboratory. Today under the leadership of President Charles E. Friley, one of the primary blueprints is rapidly taking shape, namely, distinctive service to the nation in a time of emergency. With its fingers on the very pulse of the state and nation through teaching and through the service and extension groups, Iowa State Col- lege reaffirms its place as one of the bulwarks of our Democracy.
