c omorrow s Jnaoi ison In the gold and scarlet of a Shenandoah sun- rise, come and walk with the student of tomorrow across the broadened campus of a greater Madison. See in the mellowing tradition and the enlarging scope of this campus the marks of a school grown to new physical dimensions, to higher academic attainment. Standing on the walkway by the north en- trance gate, look across the wide lawn shaded by shrubs and trees grown tall with passing years. To the north, where once Carter and Sprinkel Houses nestled under spreading maples stands a well-equipped training school, operated to provide the teachers of tomorrow with the best possible mastery of educational techniques.

May they roam the halls and classrooms and the walkways of Tomorrow ' s Madison in years of lasting peace.

Look far to the east now, where a large new dormitory stands on the north end of the hockey field; a second extends northward from Junior Hall. Modern and spacious, these inspire the larger group of tomor- row ' s students to greater originality in room-planning, as do the Freshman dorms of 1945-46, which have been remodeled in sound-proof suites like those of Junior and Senior Halls. Walking up the shady driveway and turning south past Wilson and Maury Halls, look through the swaying branches of many tall trees to the spot where once the Newman farmhouse stood. For years the college in- firmary, it has now disappeared, and on this site there stands a fourth new academic building, in line with Reed, Wilson, and Maury Halls. In the rear of Maury, a new addition to the science hall provides facilities for enlarged chemistry, biology, and physics departments.
