I am willing to discount it by 25, leaving 560 to return for next year. The entering class of high school graduates in September, 1922, was 447, of whom 340 are in the Regular Curricula and 107 are in Special Curricula. If we could take care of them, 1000 students would enter Indiana in September 1923. The housing problem of a larger attendance presents difficulties which can be solved only by more dormitories. Even with that problem settled we have next to face the classroom problem, the Training School problem, the assembly problem, the gymnasium problem, the library problem, and the heating problem. Indiana is crowded to capacity now. To grow, Indiana must expand in every direction. A new Training School of adequate size would give us twelve additional classrooms for normal school classes, - enough to take care of 500 additional students. A gymnasium is imperative. We now have more work in physical education than can be done on one floor in the hours of the day. An auditorium is needed to seat 1800 people. At present, with no faculty members present and 50 seniors teaching at assembly time, the Chapel is filled to overflowing. We need an adequate library space and a building devoted to Art and Home Economics. The conservatory Director is refusing piano students because every practice room is assigned every hour of the day. Two additional dormitories are needed for women students, and more land is needed also. The foregoing will explain why Indiana wants $1,500,000 for capital outlay from the General Assembly of 1923. It will also reveal to you why every alumnus should become an active worker in behalf of the school. The Teachers' College status should be given the school at once, so that degrees in education may be earned and thus a higher service be rendered the Commonwealth through the preparation of better qualified teachers. The management of the school at Indiana is counting upon the loyal, intelligent, and enthusiastic support of every graduate in all of its plans and endeavors to make Indiana the most serviceable institution in Pennsylvania.
