This resulted in formulating an Agreement for the two-year period, 1963-65, covering 'proposals for financial,appropriatons, buildings land, curriculum-, educational standar faculty ahd staff personnel, and Christian activities and emphases on the campus. This first agreement was somewhat exploratory in purpose. . The Second Survey waswill be conducted in the fall of 1965 by the same three Christian scholars and this will be more nearly determinative in establishing an Agreement for a longer period, beginning with the new academic year, 1965-66. All of this is directed toward the elevation of standards-.land the broadening of the local financial base, on the assumption that within afew years the institution will proceed with the addition of the remaining three departments requisite for the status of a full-fledged university, and: thus regain the position it occupied in the community of Christian universities on the mainland of China. z 1The Trustees are even now laying' plans for a second academic builng, most probably to be known as Nance Hall, which is needed to relieve the pressure for more classroom space. This in turn will call for more land appropriate to the needs of a growing institution. i The Soozhow University alumni have extended their assoziation by organizing local clubs of alumni in various cities in Taiwan, as there are many hundreds of graduates from mainland days here now in Taiwan. During the winter of 1961 and the spring of 1962, the alumni conducted an active financial campaign, which they hope may be the beginning of a Living Endowment Roll call each year. All alumni are invited to answer the roll call by contributing something to the annual budget of the Univarsity. e On June 16, 1930, the anniversary of the founding of the Univeersity on the home campus in Soochow was duly commemorated in a special convocation held in the new auditorium on thc campus in Wai Shuang Hsi. This was attended not only by students and local friends, and by large numbers of alumni residing in Taiwan, but also by other alumni including several well-.known scholars and professional men from overseas, who were in Taiwan for a visit. 'Cn March 16, 1965, the sixty-fourth anniversary was commemorated in like manner, this time with the new Bishop, the Rev. Dr. Hazen G. Werner, serving as the principal speaker. The address was inspiring throughout: it highlighted the significant chapters in the University's past careerg it affirmed with , faith the role awaiting the University in the futureg and it called on both the American Church and the Chinese constituency to meet with courage the challenge of this difficult but hopeful hour. Let the University gird itself for the progressive fulfilment of its founding purpose, as it serves the generations of youth today and tomorrow, in this beloved land of our free Republic. I With the history and the heritage of the institution thus reviewed, the Methodist church, the Alumni, the Administration, and all Friends of Soochow can tl1e more resolutely address themselves to the ongoing developmentof the University in the years to come. May, 1965 J. W. Dyson
