We Dedicate This '56 Bomb to James Il. Hilton RESIDENT James H. Hilton knows that a healthy educational institution, with an eye to the future, must plan for growth. The Bomb of l956 is dedicated to prexy Hilton as a tribute to his forceful handling of this neglected problem. Aware of the increasing demands made on the scholastic and social facilities of Iowa State College, Hilton donned seven-league boots and strode off to Iowa's Legislature with a concrete, consistant plan to meet these demands. The results of Hilton's planning and presentation are already evident on the campus. Students are now living in a new dormitory - West Gate. Linden Hall plans have been approved and the dorm is moving toward construction. Staif salary increases have allowed ISC to bid for, and hire, a con- tinuing high quality of educator. But Hilton hasn't stopped with these accomplishments. He has looked to the future, and is preparing to meet the almost doubled enrollment expected by 1970. This is the kind of thinking that builds a college. President Hilton has been here less than three years. We dedicate to the man, his accomplishments, and to his future plans for ISC. 5
