President Holmes Suggests
Three-Fold Five-Year Plan
In a report to the Joint Board
of Trustees and official visitors,
President Merrill J. Holmes stat-ed
that Wesleyan is in a period
of growing pains. These growing
pains are a direct result of a
larger attendance. The president
went further to say that the
larger attendance will be perma-nent.
He stressed the importance of
keeping the quality of work and
of student population on a high
level, and not merely thinking
in terms of quantity. To do this
he proposed three-fold five-year
plan which would include the
following:
1. Additional educational plant,
already planned..
2. Additional housing facilities, to
which question the Executive
Committee has been giving at-tention.
Ten Sophomores Chosen
For Green Medallion
Green Medallion, IWU's sopho-more
honorary organization, held
initiation for new members last
Wednesday, May 12, at 5:00 p.m.
in the Faculty Lounge at Memo-rial
Center.
Members are chosen on the
3. Some increase in faculty per-sonnel,
but more particularly
increase in the faculty salary
budget, which matter has been
receiving the attention of a
special committee.
The first step of providing ad-ditional
buildings has been taken
by the erection of William Ed-ward
Shaw Academic Hall, which
will be ready for use when school
opens in the fall of 1954. Hous-ing
facilities are under consid-eration,
and a new men's dorm
is being considered. The faculty
is being increased in number and
the salary scale of the teaching
staff is being raised.
President Holmes stressed the
fact that the University must
keep thinking in terms of quality
of work and of student popula-tion,
and not simply quantity.
Of interest to the students will
be the information that this has
been a better year in academic
performance than the preceding
two or three years, two evidences
of which are a better campus
spirit generally and fewer stu-dents
who were academic cas-ualties.
