press luncheon Thursday, January 13, 1966, in the
Menger Hotel that the ten-year program will "pre-
pare a St. Mary's University not only ready and will-
ing to educate an estimated enrollment of 6,000
students by 1975 but also properly able to do it."
New buildings to be started in the first phase
of the "Education 6000 Program" are a library,
student union, math-engineering building, science
addition, girls' dormitory, central power station, and
four buildings in a new Law Center complex. TheVery Rev. James A. Young, S.M., Superior, St. Louis

eleventh building, a $2 million student-teacher schol-
asticate to house student brothers of the St. Louis
province of the Society of Mary, which conducts St.

"The balance will be sought from alumni, Texas
firms, families and other private groups who ap-
preciate the job that we are trying to do, and from
charitable foundations chartered to assist institu-
tions which have proven their worth to their com-
munity," he said.
