Then comes Sputnik. Sputnik and the academic year 1957-58 arrive almost simultane- ously and the freshman of 1954 is now a senior. Sputnik not only ushers in the age of outer space, but gives the role of the student re- newed impetus and a fresh significance. The college graduate, caught in Sputnik's orbit, expands his own horizon. His studies suddenly have assumed a new, more vast, significance for him. He is no longer cramming for himself alone. The edges of outer space crowd his daily coming and going about the campus. CIT wins the first Philip E. Bunker award for the outstanding float, and President Eisenhower is stricken ill for the third time. The School of Public Relations and Communications has a spark- ling, new building at 640 Commonwealth Avenue, the Terrier football team finally beats Holy Cross, and Vice-President Oxnam becomes the President of Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N. Y. John A. Dunn is B.U.'s new Vice-President for Development, the Celtics can't lose, construction of the new women's dorm is under way, and the Christmas-Chanukah sing is a huge success. The Admiral Building is renovated for SFAA and CGE, and Sar- gent prepares to move to main campus. The Hall of Famers are hon- ored at University Field as the Greeks Hmusterf' The student has looked at the world about him, and has digested an assortment of facts and impressions. He is a remodeled, overhauled person . . . not quite a finished product . . . but a product of Boston University, his aspirations, his friends, his classes, his studies, his teachers, and the multitude of world and local events which have swirled about him for four years, and left their inevitable impact. The waiting lines, tuition raises, and ever-present problems have paid OH in rich dividends. As he turns full face to the world at large, he looks into his future boldly, but not blindly. He has learned his lessons well. He is graduated. He is the hope of his University, his community, his nation, and the world. Relaxing on the Charles River green
