wet The grounds were leveled. During the summer of 1951, engineers placed their chalk lines, and construction men gouged great trenches into the earth for the foundations of the buildings. Rough lumber for the forms arrived, was measured, sawed, and hammered into place; structural steel was knitted firmly, and the concrete was poured. In the fall, the steel and concrete grew upwards, took on the shape of walls, and the dream was becoming a reality. Scarce building materials, copper and steel, slowed the progress but did not halt it. The Student Council inspect- ed the new campus, finding it to be a place no longer fil- led with vacant squares of the foundations. The buildings are there, rough in their scaffolding. People drive by the place that used to be a peach orchard, see the new col- lege, and know that Sacramento State is building for the future!
