lap The Greater Ursinus The accompanying birds’ eye view of I'rsinus College represents, in addition to the equipment with which the institution is now provided, such buildings as are contemplated in the Program of Further Development. The Program of Further Development is a carefully prepared plan for the development of the college along natural and necessary lines consistent with its inherent character and its past achievements. It serves as a guide to all who would co-operate in furthering the interests of I’rsinus College. This program was elaborated in the fall of 191.5 with the assistance of the Faculty by whom every item was carefully considered. It was then submitted in manuscript to the members of the Advisory Council, and at a meeting of this body in the office of Mr. Wanamaker on the afternoon of November I?. 191.5 its provisions were fully discussed. After slight amendment the whole was unanimously recommended to the Directors for adoption. At this meeting, there were present the Messrs. John Wanamaker. Cyrus II. K. Curtis and Alba B. Johnson of tin Council. II. F. Paisley, president of the Board of Directors, and the President of the College. it came up regularly for consideration at the Fall meeting of the Directors on November 43, 191.5, copies having been sent in advance to the members of the Board. At this meeting the various proposals embodied in the plan were formally enacted into the present Program of Further Development. It was voted to have the program printed for discriminate distribution and it was ordered that a photogravure be made to accompany the publication showing a bird's eye view of the material features as contemplated. The picture, which it will be observed, portrays with remarkable accuracy the buildings now standing on the grounds of the college, represents with a fair degree of success the style and character of the proposed buildings as well. To realize the program in its entirety will require gifts for buildings aggregating $300,000 and for endowment, amounting to $3(10,000. At the present rate of growth a period of not more than five years should be allowed for the accomplishment of the plan in its entirety. Persons who wish to consult the Program with a view to assisting in carrying it out in any way whatever will be furnished with a printed copy on application. 13 (i i:o. Lksi.ik ( hlWAKK.
