At the same time, University officials an­ nounced plans for expansion to take cafe of a probable enroll­ ment of 600 students for the fall semester. President Clyde W. Meredith revealed that the et for the next school year will be approximately $400,000.

A look at the record of Alumni giving as depicted on these pages may lead to either optimism or pessimism. It is en­ couraging to note the generous response of the classes of the past few years, but the record of the older graduates is not es­ pecially inspiring. Perhaps it is because the more recent grad­ uates have been on the campus and have seen the progress that has been made.

Older alumni are invited to visit the campus and see for themselves what has been done to advance the school both physically and spiritually. They are assured of a welcome. If they will come to the Alumni Office, the Executive Secretary or a representative will explain recent developments and show them personally where gifts have been wisely used and where new gifts may be put to work. ffer Margaret Sluyter William Driscoll Robert Behnken *Gene Lois Gibbs iteedman Briggs Ruth Prosser Keizer J.
