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.

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.

14 MICHIGAN STATE faced Army, and Navy was matched against a rugged St. Louis team in the opening semifinal matches of the NCAA Soccer Tournament held at the Brown Stadium this fall. This soccer tourney and the NCAA Hockey Tournament held at Meehan Auditorium in mid-March were important contributions to the Brown Bicentennial celebration. The feature match of the semifinals was between defend- ing champions St. Louis, who were bidding for their third straight national title, and Navy, beaten by St. Louis in last year's NCAA finals. Navy upset the defending champs, 2-1, but an upset-minded Army squad lost its chance for an Army-Navy final when it succumbed to Michigan State, 3-2, in sudden death overtime. Playing on a half frozen, rain-soaked field, Navy suc- ceeded in winning the title match by defeating Michigan, 1-0, after a great defensive battle in which each team attempted to force its opponent's defense into committing a mistake. Midshipman Bill Lewis took a pinpoint pass from Bill Thompson while breaking for the goal, and drove a hard 13-yard shot past Spartan goaltender Van Dimitriou for the winning tally. NCAA SOCCER
