TO THE FUTURE THE V. M. I. FOUNDATION, Inc. The Virg ' nia Military Institute now stands on the threshold of a new era. Along with an expanding and steadily improving physical plant, for the first time in its history a permanent organization, the V. M. I. Foundation, Inc., independent of V. M. I. but directed by V. M. I. men representing its alumni, its Board of Visitors and its faculty, is actively engaged in the essential task of raising for the Institute a real and adequate endowment. By building such an endowment for V. M. I., the Foundation will play a large part in the future of this great institution in helping it to maintain its famous traditions of service to state and nation in peace and in war, and in insuring its progress in years to come. OUR VISION IS TOWARD THE FUTURE— TOWARD A BETTER]V. M. I.
