Weather— sunny and Warmer VOL. 54, No. 20 Prexy Notes College Future In Faculty Talk President Milton S. Eisenhow er looked ahead to the College's future course in his speech to the faculty - Monday afternoon. Commenting upon the prospect of increased enrollment at 'the College, Dr. Eisenhower said state and national studies - indicate an increase. in freshman enrollment from 3600 to 4500 and an increase in total enrollment from 11,500 to 14,500, between now' and 1960. "What we must decide, in co operation with the trustees," 'he explained, "is whether we shall expand to meet this demand, try to stabilize enrollment and con centrate on improving quality, or whether to seek the answer some where between these two ex tremes." He pointed out that the tax pay ing people of the state may well object to any curtailment, yet ap prove a . program in which the College would • expand its off campus facilities rather than to continue to develop the central campus. - He said these problems were already under study by the ad ministration in cooperation with the trustees, and he expressed the hope that the faculty would make its contribution through the vari ous committees and agencies al ready established for this pur pose. The president reported he was pleased by the response to the Penn State Foundation's f irst fund drive which raised $185,000. He expressed the hope that in creased aid from alumni and oth er private 'sources would event ually bring the College the many things it needs which are not ob tainable through state funds. He revealed that alumni had contributed $50,000 to the cost of ffi'e new Student Union Build ing and also that the trustees had voted a substantial sum to the building fund on behalf of the faculty.
