Although the plans as outlined IN
their entirety have not been presepted
formally to tile board Of trustees, 1t is
believed by persons in close touch with
the authorities that they will be car
ried out Many prospective students
had TO be refused admission to the
college this year on account OF lack
dc facilities.
The present enrolment shows 3S3l
students, Representing not only Mary
land, but many other States Under the
proposed scheme approximately I007
men and women could receive lnstruc-
ton. With the additional land owned
by the colIege, ample space is allow
ed for the extension Of the building
program at a later date TO meet any
future requirements Of the institution.
DR.. Ward Is opposed to the growth
Of educational institutions to the point
where they may become cumbersome
however. He expressed the belief that.
Maryland's educational needs VIII pe
much better served through the con-
tinuance OF several StaTe-afaed lnstl-
tiItiOns, as at present, than Woud pc
the case were all OF the facilities Tor
higher education grouped under one
management In support OF TINS ne
declares that IN many instances IN the
West where one STATE university liias
been provided, to the exclusion of
smaller schools, the institution mas
become so large as TO become ullhiaA-
ageahle. with subsequent loss 20 the
students.
