Harold 6. Hyde THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Ninety years ago Plymouth Normal School, now Plymouth Teachers College, was authorized. A person ninety years of age would be nearing the end of his usefulness here on earth. In contrast to this, Plymouth now seems to possess the vigor and growth potential of a young man while still retaining the wisdom and know-how that comes with long years of service and experience. From this ninetieth milestone, Plymouth con look back with pride in the development from a tiny institution offering an elementary education course of one year to a fully accredited college offering elementary, secondary, business, and physical education curriculum and allowing one the opportunity to achieve the master's degree. It can point with pride to its high quality academic, vocational, cultural, and recreational program. It can be happy with the growing interest and strength of its Alumni Association and the positions of service and influence which its former students now occupy. With the impatience and vision of youth, how- ever, Plymouth is not content to contemplate the present and past. It wishes to dream of new heights to conquer, new service areas to enter, new standards of excellence to attain. In such a rosy future may be such things as a student body exceeding a thousand, a full liberal arts offering and appropriate degrees, a business administration curriculum, as well as some recognized two-year terminal curricula such as those for medical or legal secretaries. In this dream, while we are at it, might also be a football team, an indoor swimming pool, both open circuit and closed circuit television broadcast facilities, a modern library and a more functional science building. Best of all, in this dream, might be a highly selected, truly inquisitive and creative group of students dedicoted to the fullest utilization of the facilities for learning which a wise state will have provided. Lets hope that by Plymouth's one-hundredth birthday much of this dream will indeed be a reality. 10
