Within a few days this machine will move down the hill and grade the area for new tennis courts. These are the signs of material progress, im- proving the campus on which the College lives and functions. The real progress is less visible to the natural eye. It concerns improvement of the edu- cational process. The most significant forward step is the employment of a full-time Dean, under whose leadership we will restudy the curriculum and strengthen the whole academic program.
