lorce, but also, it has been broadened and deepened thru greater freedom in thot and pedagogy, permitted as a result of the investigation and commendation of the basic teachings of the institution. Among the added responsibilities which the students have assumed the first was the issuing of he Student as an independent publication, it having appeared up to this time as a part of The Seminar, which is published by the faculty. I ' he Damage Fund ' was next to succumb to the spirit of improvement, it being abolished upon the adoption of a modification of the West Point Honor System. Following this, the supply store, then owned by two of the students, was taken over by the Student Association, and run by a student committee on a cooperative basis, the other two private stores going out of business at this time. Since this change the growth and success ot the store has been remarkable, stock has been more than doubled, and last vear a dividend of eighteen percent was declared. This year the Student Association has assumed entire control of the dining hall, operat- ing it on the same basis as they do the store. I ' he Woods Hall Committee, elected by the Student Association members, has entire charge, negotiating with the faculty for the use of the building, employing necessary people to do the work, buying supplies and attending to all matters con- nected with the Hall. While thisisacomparatively recent change, the present indications unmis- takably point to success. Many minor changes have taken place.

The grandstand, with its commodious equip- ment of dressing rooms, shower baths, massage facilities, etc., was erected the following year thru a further gift of nine thousand dollars by Mr. Pratt. The library and the swimming pool are the latest additions to the equipment. Details regarding these are given elsewhere in this volume. Altho the changes in outward appear- ances have been so great, they have been no more marked than the growth of the activities of the institution. The equipment has been practically doubled during the last four years, but the administrative changes have been as great or even greater. The institution which at that time struggled under the misnomer of “Training School,” with but faint hope of ever gaining deserved recognition as a college, has at last, thru the untiring efforts of alumni and friends, taken its proper place among the colleges of the countrv. The classes which formerly numbered three: juniors, middlers and seniors, now number four; the preparatory men having been organized into a distinct class, given representation in all activities of the Student Association and allowed to compete with the freshmen and juniors in all interclass sports. While few in number, the prepara- tory class is marked by its unity and class spirit, and its members, after a year in the institution, form a strong nucleus for the incoming freshman class and furnish many of their leaders thruout their course. The names of the other classes were changed at the same time to freshmen, juniors and seniors. Not only has the course been enriched by the supplementing of subjects, by increasing the number of institutes, by bringing here as lecturers some of the greatest spe- cialists of the country, and by an increase in the teaching and librarv Pratt Field Now The Grandstand n
