Even our close friends hardly realize the expansion which has taken place at Springfield during the past
eight years. The above chart presents this vividly. The increase in land and buildings has laid the foundation
for a great institution in the years to come. Only a partial endowment has been secured, but it has brought about
an increased faculty and higher standards of academic work. ‘The student body has steadily increased and the use
of College property by outside organizations not only in the summer but at other times of the year has enabled us

to render a larger service.

The growth of the fixed income from less than $90,000. a year to over $300,000 a year is one of the most
significant developments. ‘The enrollment of eighty-six men in graduate work in the academic year and in the
summer school is a very marked advance. The College has also been authorized by the State Legislature to give

the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Master of Education.
