I.ottn D. Coffman president coffman Minnesota can do more to make itself an attractive commonwealth to live in by creating a centre of culture and education than by further development of its economic life.” In this single statement. President Coffman has voiced his firm belief in the necessity of a university and the wealth to be gained therefrom: wealth that is of the spirit, not of the market place. He has advocated a plan wherein the lines between the colleges are not strictly drawn and where certain students will not be confined in any one collegiate unit. Again, he believes that a fixed period of four years for a college course should be made more flexible, either lengthened or shortened to suit the needs of the individual student. The spirit of the university cannot be seen nor handled: it does not possess material existence: it cannot be held up to public view: and yet. it may truly be said that President Coffman embodies that spirit. The most difficult problem confronting university authorities is that of administration, but under this man's wise guidance and counsel, the University has run quietly and smoothly and risen swiftly and surely to its place among the great schools of the country. During the eleven years of his administration, the enrollment has grown from nine thousand and seventy-seven to sixteen thousand, eight hundred and twenty-seven. To the incoming classes President Coffman flings his challenge. Do not be content with the outer fringe of college life, but get at the essence of it. its life blood, which is expressed in the devotion that the faculty, the students, and the alumni have to the traditions of truth, its discovery and use. 19
