In his report on the academic and fiscal year 1970-71 President L. Dale Lund noted several special achievements made possible by the participation of many alumni, colleagues and friends of the College. Included in the list was: a. An enrollment increase of over nine per cent. The enrollment of 840 students compared with 765 for the 1969-70 school year (Enrollment for the fall term 1971 slipped to 821). b. A balanced budget for the 18th consecutive year (The 1971-72 fiscal year budget, largest in the school's history, was set at $2,285,927 during the Board of Trustees spring meeting. At their fall conference the Board trimmed the accoun t $14,000 to $2,271,627). c. A successful start of the new curriculum and the 4-1-4 calendar. d. Adoption of a Covenant for in- creased cooperation and mutual assist- ance with the Lutheran Church in America. e. Midland's achieve- ment of full approval as a college of the Lutheran Church in America. f. Installation of a computer system for instruction, re- search and future administrative use. g. The third USO tour by the Clef Dwellers, this time to the North Atlantic. h. A record graduation class of 231. Yet, despite the good news Dr. Lund warned that salaries must be improved to keep a distinguished faculty. Campus committees took on a new structure for better management and responsi- bility during the innova- tive 1970-71 season. The reorganization incorpor- ated students, faculty and administrators into the program. Outside the classroom many staff members continue the intellectual pursuits of their field as play- wrights, authors, research- ers and artists. Midland's collegiate program offering 19 majors and many course combinations that lead to a bachelor of arts degree is one of the school's greatest strengths, asserts Dr. Lund.
