C. O. PRICE is the President ' s assistant. He acts in an advisory ca- pacity and handles college financial affairs. YYTITHOUT diminishing at all the work we do to- ward military victory, it is now imperative that we focus our minds on the future and decide what kind of world we want to build on the ashes of this war. Of one thing we are all certain: We want a free, peaceful world. And we are prepared to do whatever may be required of us to gain that goal. We will train our minds broadly, we will learn to think deeply and clearly, and we will develop those precious quali- ties of tolerance and kindliness, for we know that the freedom and peace we want can spring only from our minds and our hearts, not from mere devices and organizations. These were the words of Kansas State ' s young and energetic president, Milton S. Eisenhower, in his wel- coming address to students entering the College last fall. President Eisenhower is completing his second year as chief executive of the College. The President has an eye to the future but is also keeping the machinery running today ' s college pro- gram well-oiled. His enthusiasm inspires students and faculty alike to build for the future. EISENHOWER MAKES Kansas must develop industrially as well as agri- culturally in the postwar years, says President Eisen- hower, and Kansas State aims to help in this develop- ment. Enrollment May Reach 6,000 It is quite probable that 6,000 or more students will be enrolled in the College after the war. For a time a large proportion of these students will be veterans of World War II, but gradually the percentage of stu- dents just out of high school will increase. The principle handicap of the College in taking care of postwar students will be that of physical facilities. New and improved buildings will be needed. Funds for construction of the buildings must come from both state and private sources. Kansas State ' s foresighted President has already ap- pointed committees who are carrying on research work and making plans for such postwar projects. Work has begun on curriculum changes and revi- sions in order to formulate postwar college courses that will be to the best advantage of all postwar students. The College is carrying on industrial research, bur only the surface of the hundreds of problems has been scratched. It is hoped that some day an annual Indus- trial Week can be held on the campus. Industrial Week would be to Kansas industry what Farm and Home Week is to Kansas agriculture. Trimester Plan Will Continue The year-around educational program for the Col- lege will be continued as long as there is a demand for such a program. Probably the average high school grad- uate will want to attend only two semesters a year. But the more mature students and students who are veterans will need and want a year-around program in order to fill their educational requirements as quickly as pos- sible. President Eisenhower said in his opening convocation speech in September, 1944: A college education is an orderly human experi- Page 22
