On July 10, 7 967 The University of Toledo Became a State University The future as always uncertain; the past success- fully well behind it, The University of Toledo eagerly and with great expectation takes Its first giant step forward Into the realm of state sup- ported education. As control Is formally handed over to the Board of Regents, perhaps a bit reluctantly, a bit hesi- tantly, a vision of the past and a glimpse into what could be an unlimited future, flash into the mind. In a world of constant change, one in which ideolo- gies, concepts and philosophies are undergoing change and taking on a new perspective, educa- tion must emerge as a dynamic, growing, entity expanding and developing with time, always look- ing one step ahead Into the future. In the past, as a municipal university. The Univer- sity of Toledo was an efficient, capable. Institu- tion, adeguately meeting the needs of the com- munity it served. With a comfortable student- teacher ratio and a well-rounded faculty, the Universit y boasted a varied curriculum second In quality to no other institution of the same size and nature. Graduates of the University entered all phases of life as competent, well-rounded individuals. For the University to remain stagnant, however, content with the present. Is to defeat the very purpose for which it was founded. For any edu- cational system, growth is a necessary factor for its existence and productive continuity. The ad- ministration and the community soon realized the shortcomings of the University as the forces sur- rounding it became more active than the growth rate of the University. As the population of the city increased and the Importance of a college education became more evident, the applications for admission doubled, and the University was no longer able to continue with Its previous format. Planning committees were activated, land ac- quired, and the future of The University of Toledo slowly and deliberately planned. The future was to include not only physical expansion and growth, but was to encompass a concept of education not yet encountered at the University, that of a state supported Institution. Operating a university Is a financial undertaking of a large magnitude. Many times the success or failure of an institution is dependent upon the support It receives. With ambitious plans soon due to be put Into effect. It was necessary to obtain financial aid from the only Institution capa- ble of supplying the necessary amounts. It is for this reason that The University of Toledo will be able to adequately handle any expansion plans, and in doing so, provide the community with the type of education necessary to fulfill the needs of Its students. The biggest advantage, of course, Is the financial aid now available to the Universi- ty. Reimbursement from the state on a per-stu- dent basis will provide the University with ade- quate funds to continue with Its necessary plan- ning and expansion. With the future now more clearly defined, and the means available to attain that future. The University of Toledo can become an even more effective educational institution, expanding and developing with time, always looking one step ahead into the future. ■ . •
