TO MEET THE DEMANDS ON HER FACILITIES The outward sign of Wisconsin’s growth is its building program. Wisconsin’s six mile length is covered with the architectural ideas of one hundred and six years. A revolution in architecture has occurred since old Bascom Hall first cast its shadow on the hill. With the advent of the sixties, Wisconsin expects to double its present population. Buildings are being constructed to hold the “bumper crop” which is working its way up through the scholastic ranks. Pictured at the left is the new Bacteriology building which will house new research and development equipment as well as classroom space. This building is a far cry from those that President Fred was familiar with when he was a graduate in Bacteriology.

EACH YEAR BRINGS A NEW ADDITION The phormacists prepared to move to their new building. Nineteen fifty-five has added three other buildings to the expanding entity that is Wisconsin. A new diagnostic center, an addition to the Chemistry building which will house the pharmacy school, and a new Commerce building located behind Bascom Hall, have been or are being built as nineteen fifty-five continues. Treatment began at the diagnostic center and the Commerce professors roamed through Sterling Hall with a gleam in their eye knowing that the new Commerce building would be complete in a year. 13
