In 1867 the founding trustees of the college stated that their purpose was to provide an education 2in- cluding mathematical, philosophical, and classical learning, all with the view of increasing knowledge in the liberal arts and sciences and for the develop- ment of character under moral and religious influ- encesfl This is still our purpose although we live in an age when the demand for higher education comes from those who would follow one of the thousand profes- sions and vocations in our complex civilization. Our problem is to present and study those pursuits which are based logically upon an education in the arts, humanities, and sciences. We continue to urge that one,s vocation be undertaken as unto God and the well-being of ones fellows. We have made notable progress on Palatine Hill since 1942. The growth in physical and faculty strength makes possible the rest that we do. 1942 1957 Students enrolled ..... 135 1,067 Students in dorms ..... 35 390 F ull time faculty ...... 14 70 Percent faculty with doctoral degrees . . . . 5670 Other staff members. . . 10 76 Buildings ........... 9 27 Classrooms .......... 12 48 Library volumes ...... 13,500 47,300 Value of propeIty ..... $352,000 $3,104,475 Endowment fund ..... $254,000 $772,842 Gifts for the year ..... $27,804 $408,187 Operating budget ..... $47,800 $1,218,516 What of the future? The chances for increased financial support and needed facilities are good. They will come with the creative work of faculty and students. Growth in knowledge, in religious insight, and in moral responsibility will receive the support of enlightened men and women as they assess the evident results. Our next ninety years depend upon that which we do now, despite the tensions of the times. The goals are distant but the progress is from year to year. MORGAN S. ODELL
