college upon a financial foundation adequate for its needs and commensurate Wlth its importance as an institution of national reputation The coming year is to determine whether the college is to continue its work seriously crippled by lack of funds or is to enter a period of increased efiiciency and miiuence The great probability that President McClelland will be suc cessful in the attempt to meet the conditions of the gifts of Mr Carnegie and of the General Education Board gives confidence to all the friends of Knox that the institution IS about to enter upon a period of renewed prosperity Indeed the new era may be said to have already begun with the completion of the splen didly equipped new gymnasium For the first time in its history the college is now able to give its students a thorough course of proper hygienic conditions Since the establishment and equip ment of the scientific departments a decade ago the new gym nasium is the most tangible evidence of progress toward the realization of the educational ideal for which the trustees and faculty have been striving The past limitations of the college resulting from lack of en dowment have been most evident m the social and aesthetic phases of college life However successfully Knox may have in tensified the religious life of the undergraduate and trained men for the leadership needed in our Repubhc the college has failed to provide a substitute for the home life of the young men who resort to it for an education If the increased endowment brings as is hoped a new dormitory for men the college will not only be able to mold their lives and characters more effectively but also to hold them in greater numbers through the col'lege course and to send them out more loyal to the institution It is generally conceded that of all the miiuences surrounding college students, none is of greater importance than the mutual influence of stu- dents upon one another in the democratic life of the college dormitory With such equipment Knox life will have a charm which has been sadly lacking The new era will bring other new buildings of beautiful and harmonious architecture While Knox has in all her history em- phasized the vital importance of the man behind' the desk ' there is no question that beautiful and stately buildings are im- portant agencies in elevating student ideals of increasing college efficiency, and of intensifying undergraduate and graduate loy- alty The new science building will greatly increase the effective- ness of the work of the science departments and enable the col- lege to meet the competition of the universities in laboratory courses. The lecture rooms of this building, adequately equipped with projection apparatus, will help to keep the college in closer touch with the city of Galesburg and the surrounding com- munities. The new era, therefore, will mean a greater Knox, true to the high ideals of the past, but vastly more efficient in realizing them.
