TRUSTEES 'a's' The Trustees, Marietta College's govern- ing board, study enrollment, fiscal plans, and curriculum changesg they also approve amend- ments to the by-laws of the college. Because of the increase in students in the past decade, the Trustees found it necessary to expand the physical program of the school. These men, seeing the college's opportu- nity for growth, inaugurated the Building and Development Program in 1949. Since that time many major improvements have been made on the campus. The achievement record includes the construction of four buildings: the Gilman Student Center, the Edwy R. Brown Petroleum Building, Elsie Newton Hall, and a second annex to Dorothy Webster Hall, the freshman women's dormitory. Other innovations are a central heating plant, the renovation of Erwin Hall tower and clock, the purchase of Strecker House, the renovation of the President's home, a new athletic field and tennis courts, and a number of field house improvements. In 1958 the Trustees contacted profes- sional consultants to study the most important needs of Marietta College. Their recommenda- E121 tions were presented and as a result, the Trus- tees initiated the 125th Anniversary Develop- ment Program. This far-seeing plan has as its immediate goals the construction of a new library, men's dormitory, and chemistry build- ing, in addition to the conversion of the pre- . , , A sent library to administrative offices and class- - rooms. -rx. At the board's fall meeting, the Trustees discussed proposed building sites for the three new additions to the campus. If plans progress as scheduled, the buildings will be ready for use in the fall of 1961. An operating budget of 31,500,500 was approved by the Trustees at this meeting, and the 351,300,000 goal of the Anniversary fund drive was discussed. The Trustees divided the fund campaign into several groups with campaign leaders in charge. Gifts of substantial size from business K 1 all firms, foundations, industries, and individuals .t constitute the basic source of donations. x, ' - Y Through the efforts of the Trustees, our Tai college is assured of a future marked by confi- dent progress and increased productivity.
