GfaminLs tration Our President . . . On Greater V. P. I. It has been said that the land-grant college movement has been responsible for making the United States the greatest tool-using nation of the world. The truthfulness of this statement is supported by the unpar- alleled production of industry and agriculture in both World War I and World War II Our college and alumni played an important part in this productivity. To the students now enrolled at V. P. I., the record of our alumni is an inspiration and a challenge. The task confronting those of you to gradu- ate in the next several years will be a two-fold one; that of maintaining and increasing the productive capacity of the nation, as well as — and this is of equal importance — of influencing the social and economic pattern of our nation and the world. It is apparent that there is a renewed and extended interest in college education on the part of all our citizens. This, we believe, will be reflected in increased enrollment at Tech. To take care adequately of the students who will be coming to us in the next six to ten years, it will be necessary, we believe, practically to double the physical capacity of the present plant; to increase our efforts in research and graduate work; to add new courses sup- plementing present offerings; and to adjust the teaching load and salaries of the staff. Our success in securing the finances to meet these needs will depend, in a large measure, on the service that the institution can render the State and on the record and achievement of the present alumni and of you, the students who will soon go out as graduates. To the student body, I wish to express our deep appreciation for your fine spirit of cooperation in making the best of crowded conditions in the present abnormal situation, and we want to assure you of our conviction that you have contributed to a greater Tech through your industry, atti- tude, and spirit Walter S. Newman President
