i . I -Z-.gE :..Z:' :Sli TI-IE DIRECTIVE GUIDANCE S0 NECESSARY TO THE ATTAINMENT OE A SUCCESSFUL UNIVERSITY t would be difficult to disagree with the wisdom expressed by Cardinal Newman on his idea of the purpose of a universityg the proper execution of such a plan is, however, not an easy accomplishment. On the Board of Trustees, in the major administrative positions of the university, and in the deans of her schools, North- western has found leaders who are de- termined to continue the program of devel- opment which has been established. The program of planned expansion is not a small oneg Without aggressive administration suc- cess of the plan would be impossible. We are confident that the goals will be attained. The programs of the various colleges have been affected by the complexities of War. New courses have been established to meet the demands and interests of Navy and civilian students. Several buildings have been leased to the Navy, causing alterations in class schedules. In other schools, notably the technical and pro- fessional, research programs have been expanded. Whenever the situation has demanded, NorthWestern's leaders have proved themselves capable. Let us hope fervently that the years after the war will find our school guided with the wisdom and skill which has been demonstrated in recent years. 13
