Sometimes there is no way of discern- ing, except in retrospect, what a person is like. There are those people who seem brusque, sour, forbidding, and actually are all these things. And there are those people whom, at first glance, seem just as forbidding—but who, in retrospect, turn out to be memorable characters be- cause of their intensely human nature. Such a person is liable to be a faithful worker and partisan over a period of as much as thirty-three years. It is possible that such a person would make the timid quake with fright, make all others aware of warmth and friendship as liberal as her large pocketbook. Dogs of unknown pedi- gree might find here a friendly, if some- what rough, voice. And though this person would be dismayed to learn that it could be true, she might sometimes scare even the bravest out of a year’s growth because of unorthodox handling of an automobile. A sports fan would this person be. And the amazing thing is that many people would not realize this to be true until much later—in retrospect. Such a per- son is Mildred Ross, to whom we dedicate the 1954 Pine Knot. Mildred’s method of transpor- tation has changed in the last ten years from a bicycle to a car. cv

To be constructed under the new building program are a new class- room and administration building to replace Kinsey Hall, a new science building, a dormitory, a new gymnasium, infirmary, president’s home, and the major renovation of the old gymnasium into a student union. The science building is the first for which contracts will be let. Plans for several other of the new buildings are already in Benton and Sons, Wilson, N. C. Design consultant for the program is Mr. Edward W. Waugh, professor of Architecture in the School of Design, North Carolina State College, Raleigh, N. C. In selecting Mr. Waugh to fill the advisory capacity of design consultant the board of trustees of the college have indicated a desire for functional architecture and a gradual change to more contemporary styling of future buildings which, one might feel, is indicative of the spirit of progress planned for the next ten years. And, in answer to the 1953 Pine Knot., probably this will be typical of the progress of the next fifty years. s-y
