Bitter warm weather advo- cates have denounced what they call the local two season climate (winter and late fall), while the normal student spends nine months finding it too hot, too cold, or too something. Because abnormally inverted conditions this year have made yearbook- editing a fraughtful and frightful experience, the editors hereby dedicate the 1954 Algol to Minnesota weather, which managed to score a long string of victories over local forecasters, the man- in-the-red-tie included.

■ ' -S-J p CARLETON BUILDS A CAMPUS The Carleton campus has made a spectacular change since Willis, its first permanent building, lifted its peaked bell tower beside the river in 1872. Its watching windows have guarded the Bald Spot for 82 years, while all around the grassy rectangle there sprang up building after building to accommodate the growing student body arid wealth of equipment. Willis has seen the classes come and go since 1874 (two graduates, three non-graduates), and to each departing group its memory has been a key to the recollection of Carleton living. Its bell has controlled the ebb and flow of traffic across campus, Now, after two years of transitional muteness, the bell is almost ready to ring again from the tower of the new student union, and campus life will center around Willis in a new sense. In a way, the rebuilding is t ' pical of Carleton ' s growth: gradual, accomplished within the framework of tradition; sometimes awkward, the target of critical commentary from alumni and witty remarks from students; controversial at its outset, but soon absorbed into the pattern of daily life and the thoughts and memories of those who live with its influence. It is this pattern of change and absorption that we hope to show in the 1954 Algol.
