Page 18 text:

The big war was over. G.I. Joe had his Bill of Rights and was determined to finish his interrupted education. President Howard S. McDonald had to face the problem of expanding the campus facili- ties to provide for the vastly enlarged student body. Student housing facilities were increased with the erection of Cam- pus Dormitory for women. Surplus Army barracks were moved in and became the veteran ' s housing unit known as Wymount Village. A health center, a new cafeteria, a larger bookstore, a speech center, and the K.B.Y.U. broadcasting station have brought increased services to the students. Classroom space was doubled with the erection of the magnificent Physical Sci- ence Building, while basketball fans eagerly awaited the completion of the Fieldhouse. As Ernest L. Wilkinson took over as Presi- dent, it was apparent that the University was well on the way in a new era of pro- gress and development. Rapidly nearing completion is the 7100-seat Fieldhouse which will at long last provide a home for the potent Cougar casaba squads. It was a memorable day when ground was bro- ken for the new $2,000,000 Physical Science Building. The year of the big snow will long be re- membered by students of the Y during the winter of 1949.
