american goes forward to meet ultimate goals With an ever-increasing rate of growth, plans for expansion will most likely never cease. Each year the campus burgeons with new buildings, as well as with new offerings in the academic sphere. In a secluded area, the Watkins Art Building, first section of the pro- posed Arts Center, has been in operation for several years, as has the Communications Building with its own radio station. Letts Hall, a new seven-story dormitory for men, was opened this fall. Construction on the John S. Meyers Law School is well under way and its completion is expected for the fall of next year. Expansion alone is not the ultimate goal. The future of American is bright, but not so bright that it dims a proud heritage of the past. For, in its growth are reflected the develop- ment of taste, the maturity of a nation, the adaptation of a great institution to its people. This is America — this is American. Housing the majority of women resi- dents are Hughes and McDowell Halls.
