' I am pure you are aware that colleges and *

' universities everywhere are facing rapidly . . ^

'': increasing enrollments. In this respect. Long- •, wood is no exception. Each year since 1953 ^^^^iBt- our enrollment has steadily increased; and by .p'''"''^- conservative estimates our present enroll- * ment will double by 1970. We have a dormi- tory under construction which will be ready \ to occupy by September of 1958. .\s I write this, we are inviting bids on construction to provide more classroom space. Further addi- tions to the physical plant will be needed.

But there are other even more important Francis G. Laxkford needs that increased enrollments will empha-

size. One is the need to maintain the quality of faculty to which Longwood is accustomed. This must be done in the face of keen competition from other colleges and universities. To meet this competition, we must have better salaries as well as working conditions that give faculty members more time for research and other creative work. We must also tr\ to make more efficient use of the capable faculty we have.

There is also the need to maintain the quality of our student body as our numbers in- crease. Here I mean quality of heart and mind, for at Longwood it has always been true that both character and intellect are respected by student body and faculty. As numbers increase, we must also be sure that each new group is taught respect for the fine traditions of Longwood. These are a precious heritage which new students must be helped to ap- preciate.

In meeting all of these needs, loyal Longwood alumnae can help. Those of you who live in Virginia can be especially helpful in supporting our requests of the legislature for funds to increase faculty salaries and to enlarge our physical facilities. Loyal alumnae everywhere can help in directing to Longwood young women who possess the qualities to succeed academically, to make a contribution to campus life, and to reflect credit on the good name of Longwood. Such young women do constitute our student body today. I wish all of you could have the rewarding experience that is mine in working with these bright, resourceful, and dedicated young people

I am keenly aware that local alumnae chapters have helped with scholarships and in our recruiting of able high school graduates. Indeed, whenever we have asked new stu- dents how they were influenced to choose Longwood, contact with alumnae has always had high frequency. I am sincerely grateful for this help. I hope you will write us any time we can support your efforts in this direction.

Sincerely,

F. G. L.A.NKroRD, Jr. —
