A projection of a university must necessarily include an insight into the functioning of its parts. Through the interrelationship of each of these facets, a view of the University's over-all plan and an examination of its purpose are portrayed on this and the following division pages. The University of Denver is a private university located in a rapidly expanding metropolitan area, rather than in a small university-dominated community; a fact of which its students and administrators are becoming increasingly aware. In addition, an increase in out-of-state students, from 18% of total enrollment in 1940 to 47% in 1964, has brought about a distinct change in its fabric and need for foresight. Having consciously established well-wrought links with the surrounding community, the University is making efforts to change its “small, tradition-bound college” image to one with more than international pretensions. During much of its 100-ycar history, DU grew without an adequate formal plan for the future; at times hardly managing to survive. However, in its recent attempts at reestablishment through intensive overall planning, physical expansion has come to the fore. Within the past four years, campus construction has included three units of the Boettcher Center for Science, Engineering and Research, Centennial Residence Halls, and a Law Center on the downtown campus. With the $5 million Ford Foundation grant, the alumni's annual fund-raising campaigns, and individual and corporate endowments to various departments, even more will be accomplished. Yet, many essential areas still function under barely workable conditions, with few signs of improvement in the near future. Through the addition of new classroom facilities, increased faculty salaries, library improvements, and a Student Center, many basic problems can be alleviated. 7
