JaoEMcESIBEoEEsIn oOPls Greater Occidciitdl u 3 The Occidenlat of Today The dream of a Greater Occidental is rapidly and steadily materializ- ing. With the passing of each week we realize anew that the dream was not futile, elusive, but a vision of truth. A comparison of the campus of the end of the preceding year and that of this spring speaks for itself. At this time last year La Encina was rejoicing over the fact that our Mary Norton Clapp Library was in the making. This year it is in our possession, completed — one of the finest and most beautiful in the country, perfectly equipped, a place in which it is easy to spend hours of study and research. The dedication and opening took place on Founders ' Day in April, and the friends and alumni rejoiced with the immediate Occidental circle in the joy of the com- pleted gift. Here will be another spot about which the thoughts of Occi- dental may grow, as to the walls the ivies cling. Another part of the dream was the thoroughly felt need of a Women ' s Dormitory. It seemed a little distant last year, but the hope was fulfilled through the gift of Mr. William Msade Orr, which was also the Thirty-fi ' ve 1

Greater Occidental desire of Mrs. Orr. Bertha Harton Orr Hall will be the home of ths women of Occidental; and a more beautiful one is hard to imagine. Plans have been drawn for a U-shaped group, to be located in canyon near ths college, which is to be formed into a park of beauty. Ground will be broken on Commence- ment Day, and the reality will soon take the place of the vision. The thought of the Greek Theater has long been treasured. Last year the first step toward realization was made by the total gift of $71,000 from the class of ' 23. The cost of the first unit of construction is $35,000. One- seventh of that amount has been raised by the citizens of Eagle Rock, and there is fullest assurance that the completion of the amount required is a possibility of the near future. A lovlier spot cannot be found, accompanied by perfect accoustic properties; and in its Greek Theater much of the life and expression of Occidental will find its place. Within our own circle as well as farther away, may be found the same generosity and whole-hearted support. The alumni of Occidental have under- Tliirty-six Lookiiii H ' esliL-arA flEBfiE fl oEMBBBIBl
