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 .
