Pi2EsiDENT's Wim Q The appearance of a new edition of the KANZA marks an important event in the college year, something which is looked forward to with interest by students, faculty, and alumni alike. This year's book is particularly significant, for it may preserve the record of one of the outstanding years in college history. By the time these words are in print, four new buildings on the campus will be well along in their constructionwthe new student union building, the high school training building, the girls dormitory, and an addition to the mechanical arts building. Completion of these structures will mark an important milestone in the progress of the institution. It is an event for which students, faculty, and alumni have been working and planning for many years. The College is also expanding in other ways in its desire to improve its program of education. Since 1948 we have been participating in a cooperative study among teachers colleges in the North Central Association of Colleges and Universities. Chief emphasis in the study has been directed toward student personnel services, the offering in general education, the professional education of teachers, and general improvement of classroom instruction. Also we are one of three teachers colleges participating with other leading colleges and universities throughout the nation in a study sponsored by the American Council on Education in the evaluation of general education. Through these cooperative studies it is our thought that our entire program will be generally upgraded and will compare favorably with the best college practices in all activities, both class and extra-class. Vve have a strong faculty and a splendid student body. 'lihe College is operating under a liberal budget. The buildings and equipment are in excellent condition. and expansion of these facilities is in prospect. A friendly, cooperative. progressive atmosphere prevails throughout the campus. It is a college year of particular national and international significance. Demo- cratic society faces a great challenge. It has need for responsible. college-trained people who will foster its principles and make secure its institutions. Vile believe our College people in K.S.1.C. will do their part. 1 hope the 1950-51 Kanza will serve as a record boolt and that re-reading it in years to come will always arouse memories of a college year filled with profitable and happy experiences.
