V4.9 TO: THE READERS OF THE 1947 CAMPUS The year under review in this issue of the CAMPUS has been an interesting one and in many respects a unique one in the University's history. Administration, faculty, and students alike have been struggling to get back to normal' under conditions far from normal. There have been difficulties, serious inconveniences, unex- pected obstacles and delays. I am most grateful for the patience, the cooperative spirit, and he pesistent effort to carry on that have been so consistently charac- teristic during the year. Things have not always been easy for any of us. But we.have come through. We have in large measure met the demands made upon us. There have been seriousness of purpose, maturity of attitude, and a readi- ness and ability to work. I am es- pecially grateful to the veterans who, returning from war service, have so admirably demonstrated these qualities and have so greatly helped in the readjustments to peace- time conditions on the campus. Much remains to be done. And we go forward with the long-range plans for the University's develop- ment. The next year or two should see major additions to the Univer- sity's plant, including the erection of the Rich Memorial Building of the School of Business Administration, a gymnasium, improvements and additions to our out-door facilities for recreation and sports, and a student activities building. Plans for other additions and improve- ments are in the making. Much, too, is being done and planned in the Way of less tangible but no less important and fundamental development. The interest, the cooperation, and the loyalty of Emory men and women, students and alumni, have been and will continue to be the University's greatest asset. Together wc have a great opportunity and a great responsibility. I congratulate the editors on this book. And again, my hearty thanks to all who have helped and are helping, and my affectionate greetings. Goodrich C. White April 1947 ' President TO: THE STUDENT BODY Double the number of molecules inside of a fixed container and in- crease the temperature. What hap- ,qv-I-, pens? Quite elementary. The pres- sure rises and collisions are more frequent. Double the number of students Within fixed instructional facilities and increase the tempo of interest and purpose. What happens? Again the solution is quite elementary. Double academic sessions, tight schedules, some measure of confu- sion, and increased pressure upon students, faculty, and administra- tion follow immediately. Emory took some rather extreme steps to care for her obligation to Veterans. She was growing anyway, and these measures made her grow much faster than she had planned. Most of you have sensed the problems which have arisen in attempts to care for so large an enrollment. You have cooperated splendidly. And you Veterans have brought to the dampus a greater maturity and purposefulness than we have had before. QSSCZQQ Those of you who were here before the war see clearly the physical changes on the campus. There are more paved roads and sidewalksg there are fewer trees. In other ways, too, the old order has changed. Yet within the physical and human structure that is Emory there remain, as they must always, a burning desire for real progress, a respect for enduring values, and a dedication to the ideals of Chris- tian service. You have sensed that this is a century of decision for the human race. When and if the boat begins to rock let us reflect that the breakers roar quite as much when the tide is coming in as they do when it is going out. With every good wish, J. H. Purks, jr., Dean TO: EMORY STUDENT BODY Educational institutions, like giant industrial enterprises, recognize the importance and the necessity of long-range planning. No longer can an institution rely or depend upon good fortune for the success of its on-going, but must achieve its success through a sound plan which has guided its activities from its inception. Such plans guide the academic, the professional, and the over-all administrative activi- -ties alike-they are important in the lives of the trustees, the faculty, the student body, the employees, the alumni, and the general public. There must first be overall institutional plans which regardless of their nature deal with major problems affecting the basic policies of the institution and its relation with the community, the state, and the nation. Next are the administrative plans which involve the academic program of the several divisions of the institution. Such plans are the concern of the President of the University and his council, which is composed of the Presi- dent of the University and his council, which is composed of the Deans of the several divisions, the Registrar and such other persons as the President may invite to ad- vise with the council. Last are the plans involving the Business Management of the insti- tution. Such. plans are delegated to the President and the Execu- tive and Finance Committees of the Board of Trustees and the Business Manager of the institu- tion. quo- Among the planning groups for any institution should be a com- mittee to consider plans for the enlargement and development of the physical plant. Recognizing the present need of such plans at Emory University, President White in 1944 appointed a Campus Planning and Development Committee. This Committee has, since its appointment, concerned itself, first, with an overall plan for roads, walks, bridges, parking areas, landscaping, etc., and their relation to the future growth of the University and its needs for classroom buildings, dormitories, administrative building, a student activities building' and a physical cducaton plant. At the beginning the committee considered a better transportation system for the University to be its most urgent problem. After many meetings and hours of discussion a proposed route was agreed upon. After long delays the construction of the new street was completed, and finally on December 29, 1946, the first trackless trolley made its initial run through the campus inaugurating a rapid transportation system between downtown Atlanta and the Univcrsitv. Of equal importance were plans for housing the veterans who by the Fall of 1945 had begun to register in large numbers. The first unit under this program was Trailer Town, which involved the acquisition, transportation and installation of one hundred and six trailers from Oak Ridge, Tenn. The committee then planned the two permanent dormitories with ninety-six living units at Oxford Road and Arkwright Drive for married students. These buildings will be ready for occupancy by June 1947. ,,.,,. 5e4'9? 'k3,1?T:xE,.::-N ,Ui l,.vI----?.YL .

rom our CQffl.CdCl By the iirst of January 1946 the demand for housing had more than tripled. Witli aid from the Federal Public Housing Adminis- tration and the United States Navy, additional housing for six hundred seventy-four single students and one hundred thirty-two married students has been provided. For the faculty the University built 25 bungalows on the campus, and purchased the Emory Court apartments containing 77 living units. With the assistance of the Federal Works Agency 25,000 square feet of classroom and laboratory facilities are being added to such facilities now in use Work on the Rich Memorial Building the gift of the Rich foundation of which Mr Walter H Rich is the head is now under way This building when completed and equipped will cost S27S,000 and will house the Sclool of Business Administration In the plans for immediate consideration are Q11 a physical edu cation building to contain 28 O00 square feet of floor space, QZJ a student activities building to cost S500,000 A students infirmary occupying the ground floor, West Wing of the Emory Hospital is nearing completion Three additional wings to the Emory Hospital costing 52,000,000 are now completed and occupied Officials of a growing institution such as Emory University must be constantly on the alert in promoting its expansion plans within mts resources George Mew, Treasurer TO THE STUDENT BODY The Office of the Registrar and Director of Admissions has two major responsibilities to keep academic records for all students of the University and to administer admissions in all divisions Except for the enormous 1 --1 crease in the volume of work no unusual problems have arisen in conneetxon with record keeping Members of the faculty has been highly cooperative in maltms r ports promptly and students have been remarkably patient in await mg final grades on their work In several divisions the prob lem of admissions has become in creasingly acute because of limited enrollment and the avalanche of applicants Committees on selec tion have given careful considera tion to every applicant, and an ear nest effort has been made to serie as fully as facilities permit All oliicials of the University are gravely concerned because of the necess1ty of turning away so many well qualified applicants All indications point to the fact that in the immediate future the pressure will be even greater on some divisions of the University notably dentistry and medicine In other divisions expanded facilx ties will enable Emory to meet demands Sincerely J G tipe Registrar and Director of Admissions Dear Students Life on the campus in those areas falling under the supervision of the Dean of Mens oflicc, has seemed to be a tangle of problems producing confusion tvuce confounded during the war years Actually there has been considerable progress made in spite of the C0nfuSlOn The groundwork has been laid for a Student Health program l which should be one of the best in ' the nation. In a short time the Student Infirmary will be housed in the Hospital building and a staff of physicians and nurses will pro- vide an excellent program both of preventive and clinical medicine. Housing has been a big head- ache for the past two years Tem porary facilities have been barely adequate But two dormitories for married students are nearing com pletion and plans for perm nent housing will be made in the light of very valuable if somewhat hectic experience Student Activities have been tested in the war years tested for student interest and for their value to student life The Glee Club Wheel, and Emory Christian Association lived throughout the period The Players were inactive for only a short period Debating, the Lecture Program The Phoenix, and THE CAMPUS have made come backs with stronger programs than ever before Fraternities have been challenged to show their merit and to a heartening degree have met the challenge All except Sigma Pi lived through the period Sigma Pi and P1 Kappa P111 started again in the fall of 1946 and are well rooted now In general, the war years brought strains which eliminated number of practices which had gotten established Some were good Others vsere of questionable value The result has been the revalua tion of organizations and activities Much remains to be done, but the achievements of the past year are impressive .Tl H Rece Dean of Men TO THE STUDEN FS I made it' I made it' By the marrow of my bones I made st' Ole Dooley graduates in the Class of 1947 and joins the benevolent AB brotherhood It was an up stairs light all the way I was handicapped my up stairs is vacant But by mastering the art of blackmail and diary writing I was able to finish 100th in my class Qld Note The 1947 class consists of 100 graduatesj Yes its hard to leave the grave of dear old Emory where the spook doth shine But like McArthur I will return As for me the future, I plan to enroll in the graduate school and scribble my thesis on Scamlloeus Grammrrtzcur I was no scaraboeus grammatxcus If erasing on mid night excur sions 7 340 class cuts, from Dean Purks records makes me a ' student, Ill be Darwxns uncle Since 1909 I have been a pupil of questionable standing at Ilmory I recall seeing Dr Boyds and Dr Messicks first head of skin Why I remember when Coca Cola was ,gl out of bottles I want you to know tha I con sider it an honor to have my let ter printed on the sam page as these brains But, after ll lc eyes have it Good luck Ill be seing yer' Goodrich C Dooley e grammar beetle or book worm 'Merit' -s.,...,,, ,JT r-54-f'S-.A--J'-s -'P-v s--9-v-1'.q,...e5:v a,:ae'no.-e--4,-la-..q-a.-4-a-9 'w a'--hw1-- 5539 5 H 54 -1923-7.-4v-1--mc,-.g:.gey 3 ' - . . . . 1 .
