Every institution must have a reason for existing. Ours is to provide college level work for those who can profit from it. Our Goals for 1970 are of two types. The first is to make our service available to more students. By 1970 our enrollment should grow by at least fifty per cent which means a proportionate increase in faculty size; thousands of additional books for the library; and probably three new buildings. The second goal is to impro e our academic program. This is difficult because the world changes so quickly that to-day ' s knowledge may be obsolete in ten years. We are constantly trying new methods, such as quiz sections; new techniques, such as drill labs in languages, and new devices such as visual aids. We have in mind several new courses and some new curricula. And we are carefully considering whether a three or four year program would enable us to serve our purpose better. Long term goals must be like a compass which points out a direction, rather than a destination to be reached. Our goal is helping students to learn and we pursue this goal to-day, to-morrow, in 1970 and thereafter, by every means at our disposal. ireaking ground for new dormitory; M. N.
