vyJ , % f jtanos cJ Ike future A. In your firm grasp, students of Madison, we place this record of a year as memorable for its poignant trag- edies as for its priceless happinesses, for the spectac- ular atomic age which it parented as for the mighty im- perative of peace which it bore, for the world-shaking nature of its events as for the destiny-determining hands of its best world-minded youth — a youth of eager hands reaching fearlessly out to shape the future into a larger mold of ever-widening horizons, ever-broadening brotherhood, all-enduring peace. With the indomitable courage and the unshattered idealism of such youth, may your step upon the uncertain paths of the Future be as sure and as carefree as when you walked along this pathway.

Across from the new academic building on the west side of the driveway is a large, modern infirmary. Following the driveway south past the new academic building and the Home Management House on the left, observe the large new build- ing facing north. From it come sounds of piano scales and vocal exercises reminiscent of the oldtime Harrison Hall bedlam. Swinging west with the new driveway now, glance just ahead where two new dormitories parallel Jackson and Ashby Halls on the south. Walking past them to Main Street again, observe that the driveways north and south of the quadrangle no longer extend to Main Street, but circle back toward Wilson Hall. Look far and long upon this greater Madison of tomorrow. Though the campus looms strange in many ways, yet the aims and the spirit of her students and administrative leaders re- main unchanged. It is through their devotion, far-sighted- ness, and worthy ideals that Madison will continue to grow great through the unnumbered tomorrows. rT. l- K, '
