Because of planning in the past, the college was able to accommodate this larger number of students. However, the student population at the college will continue to increase. By 1975, it is predicted that enrollment will have doubled. The needs of Wisconsin’s young people who choose to come to River Falls must be met. Two of the buildings in the plans for the future will have become a reality before many of our present students have graduated. The student union and the men’s dormitory will be functioning by the fall of 1958. But more facilities are needed. These include the Health and Physical Education building, a new Laboratory School, and additions to the residence halls. Plans are being made also for academic growth and for additional services the college may offer. The ability of the college to serve an increasing enrollment and meet its responsibilities to the state will depend upon the support it receives. Its alumni, students, faculty, and admini' stration must continue to back programs to “make a good college better.”
