- • ' 5 The American University welcomes you. Presenting The American Glover Gate leads the way to Hughes Hall The activities which take place within a university, and the people who participate in them, are perhaps the best representation of that university. Because the university is large, and the people who attend it have diverse interests, it follows that there is a variety of programs and activities within the university. The Ameri- can University has a broad program for those students interested in Government, International Relations, Busi- ness Administration, and the Arts and the Sciences. The American University has a curriculum to fulfill the needs of the students in these areas, and it con- tinues to seek means of broadening the range of study. Special care is taken to see that each addition and alteration which occurs in the University will help to stimulate the intellectual, creative, spiritual, social, and physical well-being of its students.

To meet the demands of the rapidly-growing stu- dent population, and to keep pace with the modern improvements in our productive American society. The American University has a program of expansion, en- richment and refinement. The past year has seen many changes on campus, and there are plans for many more to come in the near future. One is impressed by the construction which is under way and by that which has just been completed. The newest building on campus is the Watkins Art Gallery. The American University Law School will soon be built on the Uptown campus. To eliminate much of the crowd- ing in dormitory rooms, an addition to Hughes Hall was begun last year and is expected to be completed in September of 1962; more dorms are scheduled to be built in the near future. Even the fraternities have fallen under the spell of construction and several have built beautiful new houses. Furthermore, although many A.U. students may find this incredible, by the end of 1963 all of the temporary wooden buildings will be torn down and modern permanent buildings will be put up in their place.
