Looking Forward In this centennial year, when the citizens of Wisconsin are reliving the history of the past hundred years, it is proper that we should be proud of the contributions that the River Falls State Teachers College has made to the welfare and progress of the State. Since 1874, more than 15,000 of its students have played a role in the making of this history. Through teachers, farmers, and professional workers, the College has influenced the vision and the imagination of the people of Wisconsin. But what of the future? Never before in the history of the nation has greater emphasis been placed upon higher education. That college enrollments will increase with each succeeding decade is a truism found in the professional literature of the day. The challenge to meet the demands of tomorrow was never greater. Will our College meet the challenge? Of course, we will meet the challenge! As in the past, the College will continue to be a resource for the young people of this area. Its program will be enlarged, its faculty strengthened, and its services improved. The needs of the institution are great. None is more urgent than an enlarged physical plant. Is it an idle dream’. ; to imagine the day when dormitories will house an Increased student body, when--, a new library will relieve the present crowded conditions, and when a physical, education building will provide not only seats for athletic games but be an integral part of an enlarged recreation program for men and women? I think not. The future of the College depends upon the present student body and thousands of former students living in Wisconsin. The loyalty of our students has never been questioned. Through their efforts the College will meet the challenge of tomorrow. oleven
