Time, Need, and Inspiration combined to produce this first ON-THE-HILL edition of the PROSPECTOR. In 1949 our campus was no more than a converted apartment building of 13 class- rooms with a total of 160 students. The fall of 1951 saw faculty and students con- vened in a maze of activity—workmen and students intermingled, and the noise of trip hammers and buzz saws accompanied lectures on the new “temporary” campus. By 1953, 2500 students were enrolled. In a few years, attendance soared to 4500. Expanding interests of the student body gave birth to new and varied activities; the faculty perfected teaching techniques; competition spurred academic achieve- ment; athletic prowess developed rapidly; progress became the standard. With true pioneering spirit, the ’49ers made tremen- dous strides in every direction. But the Time had come; the Need was obvious; and Inspiration expressed the trend. Today—with the completion of many fine buildings, enlarged curricula, and im- proved facilities to meet our needs—the campus ON-THE-HILL has come to life. The staff, therefore, invites you to review 1955 through your new PROSPECTOR, whose keynote is E-X-P-A-N-S-l-O-N. l
