HUMAN DEVELOPMENT has been the key phrase in Brown's expansion during the last ten years and continues to be the guiding slogan for future growth. The increase in the University's physical plant, faculty, graduate school, salaries, and general services has not been haphazard. On the contrary, the planning for the educational and social development of the Brown community has been extensive, and future expansion will exhibit the same concern for order and the needs of people. This concentration on ordered planning was signalled by the organization in 1963 of the University Development Council, consisting of 150 alumni, alumnae, and friends of the University. The im- portance of the council is indicated by its two distinguished alumni leaders: Charles C. Tillinghast, Jr. '32, chairman, and Henry D. Sharpe, Jr. '45, vice-chairman. All of the buildings built and all of the expansion of services have been directed toward enabling the students to take better advantage of their years at Brown and the professors to continue their scholarly development. The University's concern for increasing the opportunities for development of its community extends to every area. Evi- dence for this is the new physics and engineering building nearing completion on Hope Street between Waterman and George. To be known as the Carl Barus and Alexander Lyman Holley Building, it is seven stories high and will house virtually all of Brown's Department of Physics and Division of Engineering. The new building will allow con- siderable expansion of the University's teaching and re- search functions in the areas of physics and engineering. These buildings are now part of the campus. The future concern of the Administration is seen in the plans for a new art center. The building will provide four or five times the space now available to the art department and will include, among other facilities, a gallery, a library, and student study rooms. There will also be ample studio and storage space. With classroom and office space for pro- fessors provided, the center will enable the art department to concentrate its activities and to expand its offerings in art education. Professors will be able to pursue their studies in modern and well-equipped surroundings, while students will benefit from the expanded facilities, especially the increased studio space. President Keeney notes that the increases in faculty salaries and expanded scholarly facilities at Brown have probably contributed a great deal to holding instructors and toward acquiring good new ones. Buildings planned, such as the art center, the earth sciences building, the medi- cal center, and the medical connection now under construc- tion, will contribute not only to Brown's advancement in research but in teaching as well.

THE JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JR. LIBRARY is an indication of Brown's con- cern for people and their intellectual devel- opment. It is the only major university library which opens its stacks to 100 per cent of its student body. The library was, of course, named for one of Brown's most distinguished alumni, who contributed greatly to the University's expansion of plant and facilities over the years. It was designed and built to hold a maximum of 1,500,000 volumes and to house them in a setting most conducive to the life of the mind. There are 409 study carrels for students, allowing them to work at individual desks. These are supple- mented by 15 special carrels for those using typewriters. The library is also sup- plied with 46 faculty studies furnished with desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and book shelves, 14 conference rooms for group study and seminar work, 294 reading-room seats, 135 lounge-area seats, 10 microfilm rooms, and 10 rooms for listening to the library's records and sound tapes. There is even a soundproof room for a piano. Thus the emphasis is upon student and faculty comfort and easy access to resources and materials. The University also plans to build a science library near the eastern edge of the campus. This, with the renovation of the John Hay for special collections, will provide even greater opportunities for all to have quick and ready access to Brown's books and films in every field. In addition, Brown spends about $250 per student per year for new acquisitions and for the salaries of library staff members.
