[ have this, however, to say, and I wish to say it particularly to the Class of 1923, which will inherit from the Class of 1922 the privilege of advancing this project further. We have reached the limits of successful life without college halls. Grown as we are, to huge proportions, we cannot find acquaintanceship and solidarity as a student body in the absence of college living accommodations to or- ganize and unite us. Our stu- dent government requires a campus unified by student domicile upon it. Student control is dependent upon the friendship, loyalty, under- standing, and solidarity that can be produced in no other way but by campus homes. Looking forward toward the coming year the year in which the Class of 1023 will have the responsibility for the guidance and governance of this community of more than 10,000, I should say that our greatest task is to increase the effectiveness of student government, to make all more sensible of our responsibility for all that goes on here, to broaden acquaintanceship, and to strengthen our union. A university must present a united front. Personal preferences and the advantage of minor organizations within it must yield to its greater good. A uni- versity must be in agreement in all its parts upon what is right and beautiful. And it must be loyal to itself. To those who have given us this beautiful annual as a record of our life of the closing year, now falls the responsibility of shaping our history for the year that is before us.

TH PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE THE Blue and Gold celebrates the passage of the University year, its achievements and satisfactions. I think we may believe that the year has been a good one. Athletic successes have served to unite us in pride and confidence. Never, I think, has there been a year in which the educational facilities of the University were better used. Our great library, our laboratories, our classrooms, have been very seriously treated. The scholastic requirements of the University have risen and students have made the necessary summons upon their faculties and resolution to keep pace with these more exacting requirements. New buildings are rising on the campus. When these are complete, we will have a very great educational plant, adequate, I believe, for many years and for a much greater student body, even, than is at present here. No solution, however, has appeared for the increasingly felt need for student dwellings or living halls upon the campus. A student committee has studied this matter. Alumni and parents are conscious of our lack of housing and yet plans are not definite and resources are still unprovided. Page 16
