ON THE GRADUATE LEVEL the University is also expanding its offerings. The number of graduate students is growing rapidly, a fact reflected in the planning for a graduate student center at Brown, probably to be begun in September, 1965. This will include dormitories, seminar rooms, study areas, lounges, possibly living quarters for married couples, and other facilities for education and living. The graduate student body will thus be allowed to develop some overall unity and to take greater advantage of the educational and social opportunities at Brown. This expansion of the graduate program will, of course, aid undergraduates becatse of the expansion of departmental facili- ties and course offerings, and will per- haps provide more reasons for good instructors to come to Brown.

there will be a recreation center tentatively to include 10 to 12 bowling alleys, 5 squash courts, 5 hand ball courts, a restaurant, lounge facilities, and all athletic offices. All these are designed to meet the primary needs of Brown in the area of athletics and recreation: required freshman physical educa- tion, intramural competition, unorganized rec- reation, and inter-collegiate athletics. Again, the emphasis is on student growth and develop- ment with facilities provided for competition and activity at all levels.

THE CONTRIBUTIONS of the alumni must not be overlooked. The recent Bicentennial Alumni Convocation helped to emphasize the importance of these contributions to the University's development. In all fields of scholarly endeavor, here and elsewhere, and in service on advisory boards or as members of the Corporation, many distinguished alumni have aided in the planning and execution of the projects and activities for development, providing indispens- able aid and advice. In all respects, the rapid and con- tinuing development of Brown in recent years has been well-planned and or- dered. The University is seeking to provide for student development on all levels and to enable its instructors to engage in scholarly work, thus ex- panding their own offerings to students in the most modern and well-equipped surroundings possible.
