Our first reception for alumnae on Founder's Day was a particularly delightful occasion for us. ^^'e look forward with great pleasure to having more of you in our home for future Founder's Day receptions, \\'e were pleased with the appropriations made by the General Assembh' last winter. They will enable us to put into effect this year a much improved salary schedule for faculty. We also received appropriations for a new dormitory, and for new classrooms for the business education department. Preliminary plans for the dormitory have been completed, and it is expected that construction will begin this fall. In the meantime, our enrollment continues to increase, and we must make temporary housing arrange- ments until the new dormitory is completed. During the next two years we will also be able to advance further the renovation of our kitchen, to fireproof two stairways lead- ing to the dormitory floors in the main building, to rewire most of the main building including improved lighting of classrooms, and to modernize the remaining old bath- rooms in the main Ijuilding. Also with funds contributed by the Alumnae Association we expect to install a more suitable floor surface in the Rotunda. This and other gifts of the associations will be very helpful and are gratefully acknowledged. We continue to be pleased with the high quality of student who seeks admission to Longwood. The sympathetic understanding and help of alumnae have contributed greatly in directing well <|ualified high school seniors to Longwood. \\'e are proud of Long- wood's reputation for high standards. With your continued help we are firmly resolved to maintain the high quality of Longwood's student bod}'. There are many more good things about your Alma ]Mater I would like to include in this letter but space does not permit. You will have to come for a visit and see for your- self. This we are always delighted to have you do. Sincerely F. G. L.ANKFtiRD. Jr. Presideiit December, 1956 INAUGURAL ADDRESS of Dr. Francis G.
