Education has come upon strange times. All phases of education, public and private, from the nursery to the graduate levels of study and research are passing through a period of such rapid transition that it is diffi cult to make the necessary adjustments in staff, curricu lum, administrative organization and finance, fast enough to meet the rapidly increasing emergencies which seem to sweep over our campuses. Everywhere there seems to be a state of chronic emergency. Enrollment is up, so our faculties must be increased. In these times we do not solicit students, we select them. The cost of everything which the College must buy is up. The income from endowments and other invested funds is down. Everywhere one hears the word, emer gency. All over the Nation campaigns of one sort or another, designed to help meet the rising tide of pro blems, are being developed and promoted. Kalamazoo College is trying to remain a small col lege.
