The physical growth of the campus during the Bow- man administration is indeed impressive. More than two-thirds of all buildings have been turned from blueprint to reality under his guidance. Since 1944, when he assumed the presidency, the Health Center, three temporary classroom buildings and the Univer- sity warehouse have been constructed. Among mod- ern facilities for students are four residence halls for women — Terrace, Verder, Dunbar and Prentice — and four for men— Johnson, Lake, Olson and Stopher. Quarters for married students will soon be com- pleted, and the first coed dormitories are taking shape. Other large-scale projects include Memorial Gymnasium, Memorial Stadium, Van Deusen Hall, a library addition and the Student Union Building. Latest of President Bowman ' s ventures are the Speech and Music Building and the Arts and Sciences Build- ing, monuments to his vision for °rowth. CO-ED DORMITORY Progressive symbol of growth.

The newly constructed Arts and Sciences Building reflects the forward thinking of President Bowman. The academic center, a product of his legislative battles, is a 2.5 mil- lion dollar structure. Functional with such facilities as air conditioning and indirect lighting, the building features a strikingly bold appearance. The blue - paneled outer walls and all-glass entrance are duplicated nowhere else on campus. In addition to classrooms, the Arts and Sciences Building houses numerous seminar rooms for depart- mental use and two lecture halls, one with a seating capacity of 450. The ground floor, location of the Registrar ' s Office, is a hub of activity in the University. 9 |r , sM m» RECTANGULAR TRANSPARENCIES Through a glass darkly.
