Pusey could say that Lawrence was la rge, but not large enough, that the program was better, but not good enough. A facu lty committee was recommending informal student-faculty contacts, projects in honors work and comprehensive examinations, an insistence upon better work from students, and a reduction in the faculty's work load as ways of improving the intellec tual atmosphere of the campus. Trustees were reviewing figures which indicated that the largest student body in history was on campus, that the faculty had been built up to pre-war teaching strength, and that a surplus in the budget could be anticipated for the next few years.
