OUR CAMPUS Oh. I love it in the morning When the dew is sparkling bright And the sun comes o’er the mountain Casting off the robes of night. And I love it at the noontide When the sun is in the sky And the boys and girls are happy As the cars go scudding by. Oh, it’s glorious at evening As the sun sinks in the west When the sky’s a blaze of glory Tinting every mountain’s crest. Then I love to wander slowly Where the graceful, swaying palms Guard the flower-bordered driveways With their dark, protecting arms. And a spirit seems to hover (That the heart with rapture thrills) O’er the dear old Poly Campus With its green protecting hills. It’s the spirit of the men. who here Are finding truth and life In the wholesome, quiet country Far from City’s din and strife. It’s the vision that we’re catching Of the future’s golden gleam Where with hearts atune. we see the Star That guides us to our Dream. —Matilda F. Crandall.

COMMENCEMENT Although it is not customary to write irp commencements for El Rodeo, the staff feels that this Commencement of 1928 is of such great interest, both to the students of the graduating class and to those who will be the well-wishing observers, that we are giving it space. The graduating class of 1928 feels especially honored to be the first class to graduate from the new Crandall Gymnasium auditorium. The construction of this marvelous new Gymnasium has marked the commencement of an extensive building program for the year 1928 at California Polytechnic. The buildings completed this year are Crandall Gymnasium, so named at the request of the faculty because of Dr. Cran- dall’s splendid work which had much to do with the decision of the State to erect it; Heron Hall, named in honor of Mr. A. Heron, chairman of the State Board of Control and a good friend of the school; the President’s Residence, a fine building in the mission style; the Electrical-Engineering Building and an addition to the Dining Hall. The big dormitory has also been re-named Deuel Hall at the request of the Dormitory boys because of their “appreciation to our supervisor, Captain J. C. Deuel, who has so squarely supervised the Dorm members and their activities.” The Class of ’28 is especially proud to have Mr. Will C. Wood as the speaker of the evening, for, although he no longer is director of education, he is still keenly interested in matters of education in the state. The music for Commencement will be furnished largely by the stu- dents in vocal and instrumental music. NOW WHICH?
