FIRST OF THE Women ' s Residence Halls to be built was Grote Hall which was completed in 1913. LOOKING EAST FROM Western Avenue is the entrance to the theatre of the Fine Arts Building. During the past four years this has been the scene for theatrical and musical productions. SHERMAN HALL, WITH its majestic tower and resounding bell, represents a quiet dignity characteristic of a sound, academic institution. The Administration Building was the first of the buildings on the campus and once held the library, biology labs, chorys rooms, and teacher training classrooms. COMPLETED IN THE summer of 1959 is the beau- tiful, modernistic building of Art, Music, and Speech. The main building includes band and choir rooms, art galleries and laboratories. 4 .«4; 1 i SS ' i« »9 He it) jn r m . ,-;H [

Broader Horizons College life Implies a basic broadening of horizons. Four thou- sand students come to Western to broaden their horizons. ' ' Through the opportunities offered, a student will expand his hori- zons academically, culturally, and socially. The life of a college student Is varied, kaleidoscopic. It is a life of standing in line during registration, fighting the campus parking problem, going through Rush, rehearsing for a fine arts production, campaigning for an office, drinking a cup of coffee with a friend, sitting in the rain at a football game, studying all night experimenting in a lab, hunting a vacant table m the Cave, waiting for the posting of final grades. So it is that the surround- ing campus, peers, Instructors, administration, and activities, wiH all play an important part in the growth of Ideas, thoughts, and practices of the student. The most important growth of a college student ,s acadennic. Now he must prepare for his life ' s work. The student will develop his own philosophy about the life which lies ahead The education of the student will determine how far he will broaden his horizons. For educ ation, as stated by Joseph Addison, Is: • • • ° - panion which no misfortune can depress, no crime destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave. At home afnend, abroad an introduction, In solitude a solace, and in society an ornament. It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives, at once grace and government to genius. Without it what ,s man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.
