WEYER A'rcHisoN - BERT ' MCGREGOR FACULTY THE COLLEGE MOVES AHEAD On February 4 an announcement ofa promotional survey, the object of which is a complete analysis of the financial backing of the college, was made by President Hutchison. This, according to the announce- ment, is the first step in the new administrative policy of the college. The first four steps, as the administra- tion points out, are: One: Curriculum and educational objectives of the College. E Two: The spiritual and religious responsibilities of the strong Christian college. Three: A constructive athletic pro- gram for the future. Four: Articulation of the College by the campus plan. This fifth step, according to the announcement, is a comprehensive survey of the resources of the college in property, endowment, legacies, annuities and in the friendship and support of alumni and special givers. The result of the whole effort is to be a definite program of advance toward objectives now worked out, a program which will include the H- nance, the publicity, the student enrollment, cultivation of friends, the alumni developments and special cam- paigns. The survey is under the direction of the firm of Marts Lk Lundy, of New York City. Their representative, Mr. L. W. Robey, will cooperate with R. W. Gibson, '32, who has been appointed Assistant Registrar of the college and who will call upon DICKIE WRIGHT Maxriaua KIRCHNBR

Mr. Marts of the New York firm was recently appointed acting president of Bucknell University. Mr. Gibson had been employed at the Presbyterian Book Store in Pittsburgh, but was released from his duties there for the new position here. Mr. Robey began his work with Mr. Gibson on February 10, and continued for a month. Mr. Gibson expected to remain active for the next seven months after his appointment. The Announcement reads in part: As a part of this survey, and as a Hrst step in the actual promotion of the College, will be inaugurated a most careful and elaborate method of approaching those students who are considering entering Washington and Jefferson College. A special effort is therefore to be made to improve the contact of the college with men interested in entering with the pur- pose of increasing for next year the size of the freshman class. It is expected that through an increase in the number of those desiring to enter, a better selectivity may be enforced in the choice of men who shall attend. For a number of years the College has made an organized effort to contact prospects, but this year for the first time, the obvious plan of having the prospec- tive freshmen visit the campus has been inaugurated. The marked success of this venture insures its permanence in the future promotional work of the college. SLBMMONS TAYLOR Drawn Wlsmmr
