p 1. 1 n»z ' u FT i i THE low white Mechanic Arts Building is not an obvious campus asset, but a very real one, nevertheless. The newest building plans center about this building, which will probably take the form of additions to this well-equipped school of practical and structural arts. Maesar Memorial is the only campus building to possess that in- tangible significance belonging to tall columns and immobile white- ness. It is easily the most beautiful among Brigham Young University homes of study, and although shar- ing the summit of the hill with the Library Building, it manages to be the hill ' s true crown.

WHAT is the strange learned quality that hovers over a House of Books? The Library seems, somehow, soberly inviting and peculiarly wise. Perhaps it is proud of those thousands of vol- umes arranged in orderly rows in the stacks; perhaps it is conscious of that long reading room with tal windows and book-lined walls; per- haps it is careful to preserve its own dignity and position, there on the height of Maesar Hill. And perhaps it has caught the spirit of quiet study from the hundreds who move through the doors, day after day.

THERE is something symbolic about a pathway that has been walked and worn. There is something prettily sug- gestive about a tree lined path. There is some- thing inviting about curv- ing sidewalks, green- edged, smoothly curling around a hill. And no- where else is found the romance that spring- struck students find along a roughly-cut lane shrouded in shrubbery and edged by a stream. Upper Campus and low- er are traced through with pathways walked and worn, pathways moving through the shad- ow of trees, pathways climbing and descend- ing, and pathways touched with the collegi- ate atmosphere of young people hurrying, stroll- ing, romancing.
