. l i 1 A Auburn looks to the future. . . N January 1, 1960, the nationis newest university came into V I existence. The name of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute Tu was officially changed to Auburn University, a title which kj ' more effectively recognizes the nature and scope of the insti- tution. Auburn is a town that was built on dreams, as well as hard worlc, the dreams of settlers for a new land, a poet's dream, from which the town derived its name, and Judge John I-Iarper's dream of Auburn as an educational center. Under the new name, Auburn University is undergoing one of the largest development programs in the history of the institution. Perhaps the most sig- nificant one during the year is the increase in financial support by action of the special session of the State Legislature in the fall of 1959. Because of these additional funds, a new library, which has been a project for the past 25 years, was thereby made possible. The funds will also make possible construction of a Science Center that will house the school of chemistry and the departments of physics and mathematics. In the early days of its history, Auburn sought to serve Alabama, principally an agarian state, with those limited needs of Alabamians. The need centered on agriculture, mechanics was little more than in its infancy. If Alabama was to grow it had to lceep pace. There had to be trained men to guide the state properly into the technological era. Auburn responded with educational fa- cilities, teachers and equipment that could give the young Alabamian a chance for equal opportunity in a mushrooming world. Along with mechanics, agri- culture was becoming a complex science. Much has changed in the intervening years, new needs have arisen and Auburn has met them with splendid service. The history, growth, and progress of Auburn is not a unique thing in the annals of the world. Yet, because of its history, growth, and progress, Auburn has established itself an admir- able institution. The hard worlc gone into services that Auburn offers, and the lives of those who put forth this egort are the true history of Auburn. Out of the variaged history of Auburn there has evolved that which has been deemed worthy to be called a university. This is an important milestone, but a milestone on an endless road. One can only speculate as to what mile- stones lie ahead. President Ralph B. Draughon expressed these sentiments when he wrote, Auburn owes much to che past, but its great mission is such that its great debt must ever be the future. fm 6 fl X QRUCTI 6 Q 4 , fT FOR THE Aoxfivcexirxr U7 L. or SCIENCE D AARTS Decraiiffal S9 4 if llsk-15 X EI I lib 4Pf X ,f ,if XXQ . ..,, f Xt- f K g.
