THE OLD must make way for the new. owing The students and faculty of Pioneer College are proud to be a part of the oldest state col- lege in Wisconsin, established in 1866. The number of students has more than doubled during the past several years, but the college building program has kept pace with the enrollment increase. Predictions indicate a much larger enrollment during the next ten years. In view of the ever-increasing enrollment, construction of several new buildings is plan- ned. In the next few years it is hoped the South campus Will be equipped With an En- gineering-Science Building, an Industrial Arts- Agriculture Building and possibly other build- ings for classroom use. The year 1964 will bring the expansion of the Student Center to accommodate the need for additional cafeteria and recreational facilities. In addition, a new residence hall is now being erected. The present expansion of the Pioneer College campus, as well as that planned for the near future, is indicative of this schoolIs desire to insure a place for every future Pioneer.
