THE BOARD GF ADMINISTRATION Our governing board rejoices with lyou, your stu' I dent body, and faculty on the continued growth of your institution. The substantial place of an institution like yours in the economy of the state is no longer a matter for debate. The place of the scientist and the economist in agriculture as in other practical arts has been more clearly demonstrated in the last decade than ever before. Chemistry, which not so long ago was considered an abstract science, is now recognized as the most practical of all sciences. Plant breeding we now know to be the basis of all practical developments in plant species. Home economics is rapidly coming into its own. The work of your experiment stations and extension department grows in appreciation among those interested in the development of our principal state resource, agriculture. Your economists are called to Washington to give expert advice in the formulation of tariffs affecting agricultural products. Your needs in the building line are coming to be better understood by our legislative bodies. I am satisfied that your college has a brilliant future. Your alumni body will continue to take increased pride and interest in its development as the years go by. May every success attend your efforts. R. B. Murphy I l Palmer Kitchen - Church Diehl Page 17

THE PRESIDENT Looking forward is always most pleasing to the mind just as distant views are most pleasing to the eye. It is a very happy thought to make the development of our college and its future the central theme for the 1930 Bison. Since the col' lege was in fact created in 1890 we will be just 40 years of age in 1930. Thinking of S0 years as the time for our Golden Jubilee, I shall attempt to look into the future only up to 1940, realizing how far I may miss the mark in picturing our development in that period. First let us consider the student body, for after all the college was established for the students and our first concern at all times is the welfare of the students. Each year the number has increased from 100 to 150. By 1930 we shall have approximately 1500 students and by 1940, when we celebrate our Golden Jubilee, our enrollment will be 2500, as a minimum. During this short period just ahead the faculty will increase by leaps and bounds both in number and in preparation. Turning to the buildings on the campus, by 1930 we shall almost certainly have added the wings to Science Hall, rebuilt the power plant, built at least one of the wings planned for the central agricultural building and completed a men's dormitory. Before our Golden Jubilee in 1940 progress in building will be realized in all of the eight schools and the library. This is not merely a dream, but a definitely well worked out plan which is being brought into actuality little by little each year and will even more rapidly develop now that the pref liminary adjustments have been made. nag Pa gc 18
