Stoke was followed by the current president, Troy H. Middle ton, who had previously served the Uni- versity as commandant of cadets. General Middleton has worked to stress the importance of maintaining the high educational stature of the institution and to increase academic standards on all sides. Under General Middleton ' s guidance the University began a building program in the early fifties, the weight of which is just now being totally felt. Since 1950 many new structures have been completed on the main campus alone, including 5 new dormitories for men plus an addition to the stadium dormitory, Highland Cafeteria, the University Lab School and Gymnasium, a number of new fraternity houses, a golf club house, an addition to the Mili- tary and Air Science Building and a large new library. This period of building brought to a close the Century of Achievement. The foundation for the future of progress is being laid on the solid foundations of even more con- struction and expansion. Currently being built are buildings for feed and fertilizer laboratories and the electrical engineering, industrial education, and home economic departments. So with this spreading of the institution to two additional campuses, one in New Orleans, the other in Alexandria (the founding sight) , and the plans for such structures as a new student union, a physics and astronomy addition, and an addition to the administrative, Boyd Halls, the University is preparing for the projected enrollment of 20,000 by 1970.
