Arlington State satisfies all the necessary demands of being a complete institutiong but it also contains some outstanding attributes. Forty-one per cent of the entire faculty hold doctoral degrees and a majority of these are in the field of science. Students have created a composite of campus govern- ment, extracurricular activities, and academic responsibility.

Together, the students, faculty, and campus of Arlington State form a composition indicative of a growing college. reflects the progress of an organism's growth. At first, slight and undetailed motions occurg but with maturity, dynamic gestures result. Arlington State College is following this same pattern of movement in becoming one of the largest colleges in Texas. The student body appears as the major portion of Arlington Statels move- ment. Each dissected part of the campus functions with deli- cate and intense movement, Sometimes slow, sometimes tedi- ous, sometimes rapid, and sometimes fun, the movement all has one result - a progressive college. Other activities such as dances, rush parties, bonfires, and social entertainment pro- vide for the survival of movement. Each student activity appears as a basic part of the developing movement, while the campus as a whole performs the vivid and exact motions of a college on the move. ff-haw, Xx.,.,'gN X 'Q u..NXf2 EH X -. s.

at ASC has been fantastic, among the fastest of any school in Texas, The college was founded in 1895 as Arlington College, a private institution, and had a succession of names until 1917 when it became state supported. ASC acquired senior college status in 1959. The government of the college was vested in the Texas ASLM University System board of directors from 1923 to 1965. ASC finally severed its ties with Texas A8zM in the spring of 1965 and became a member of the University of Texas System. This link has made Arlington State a part of a system regarded as one of the best in the nation. Increasing prestige has resulted in greater enroll- ment. Soaring to 11,849 for the fall semester, the number of students this year has almost quadrupled that of a decade ago. The size of the faculty has more than doubled since that time and now numbers over 350. A massive building program has been necessary to meet the needs of the exploding campus population. The campus now covers 200 acres of land. Facilities costing nearly 33.5 million were coin- pleted in 1965 alone, bringing the total assets 'to over 324 million. Included in these new projects were the multipurpose auditorium, a theater, a health center, an outdoor swimming pool, an athletic track and a building to serve as dressing rooms for athletic teams. Expansion will be even greater in the future. Among the major projects planned, or already under construction, are a four-story addition to the library costing 32.1 million, a 31.4 million class-room build- ing, a 3250,000 addition to the men's physical educa- tion building and a 3325,000 expansion of the cam- pus power plant.
