President £Ri ley’s Message ST a year ago Linfield was rejoicing in the partial fulfilment of a dream. The C dream of the time when adequate building facilities and equipment would be available for our student body. That dream was at least partially fulfilled when we moved into Melrose Hall. 1 his dream continues coming true. Last September about ten acres of our campus, the portion north of Melrose Hall to the county road, was seeded and a beautiful green carpet is the result. This spring shrubbery and trees have been planted around Melrose Hall and the driveway leading to it. At the present time steps have been taken to build a turf athletic field for girls south of Pioneer Hall. Further improvement is being made in Maxwell Field and we expect to have a temporary fifth of a mile track in use yet this spring. An addi¬ tional two acres have been added to this field and we are looking forward to the time when a permanent turf football field to be used only for games may be con¬ structed. Speaking of dreams leads me to say that one dream leads to another. Now we are planning and working toward a girls’ dormitory to be built in the very near future. This is a long-felt need and we have faith to believe that the time is near at hand. We intend to build to accommodate about eighty girls. It will be of fireproof construction and modern in every respect. The months that Mrs. Riley and myself spent in Europe have been a great source of blessing to us both. It has been a privilege that I wish everyone of our friends on the Faculty, among the student body, and the Alumni might some time experience. The land of literature and history has been made real to us. We have tried to share our experience with our friends through the use of pictures and talks. We hope this attempt has meant as much to them as it has to us, for by so doing we have more firmly and permanently fixed our experiences in our minds where they will remain as a blessing to us all our lives. At the time this message was prepared I was absent from McMinnville on another trip which took me through California, Texas, Louisiana, New York, Penn¬ sylvania, Ohio, and Illinois. I visited many friends, members of the Alumni Assoc¬ iation and former students. Everywhere I was impressed with the evidence of the successes being made by our graduates. This evidence that the product of our in¬ stitution, the men and women whom we have had a part in training, are living happy, successful, and useful lives, is my inspiration to look forward and plan for the future. It has been and still is my ambition in life to see that Linfield is the source of power and strength in the Educational field of the Pacific Northwest, for the prep¬ aration of young men and young women to become leaders in their own Churches and communities. To accomplish this task the time has come when we must think and think seriously about the future. No longer can we confine our curriculum to the traditional field of the Arts and Sciences. We must give our graduates the benefit of a five fold educational program; namely their physical welfare must be better looked after, their professional interests must be considered, their cultural tastes must be trained, their social training cannot be neglected, and the wrnrk in the traditional subjects must be made stronger than ever. To accomplish these things for Linfield I am returning after my year of rest and inspiration w’ith renewed vigor and determination. To provide training equal to that of any larger and more richly endowed institution in an atmosphere of Chris¬ tian fellowship has always been my intention. God has blessed us in the past. God has led us through many dark and disheartening times. Now when we are on the
