From Munger come the ideas for new schedules, new pro- fessors, and new forms for students to fill out. Second Floor Munger has become a phrase for Hilltop students that means a great deal : without what that phrase connotes there could be no Birmingham-Southern. Into Munger daily flows an ever-increasing number of students with schedule problems, credit difficulties, and scholastic problems. And into Munger, there comes Southern ' s students who wish to obtain those erudite gems of history, speech, religion, literature, and what-have-you. And, moreover, in Munger Auditorium, a Birmingham-Southern student sees a symbol of what an active college can do. Here not only are held convocations, but also Town Hall series, May Courts, Cat ' s Paws, and many other activities indispensable to collegiate life. Munger certainly is then the building that most Hilltoppers will remember most after they have completed their days on Enon Ridge. Its stately columns and imposing site will long hold an important place in the hearts of those who attended Birmingham-Southern. ' -i .i , M I i ■■ ■■ .Ifci ■■ ■■ iiii t- g gm,-

The Southern Accent need not testify to their great success in their re- spective capacities : everyone knows that.
