x my ..., 4 9- . fi from the President Like you, the graduating class of 1958, I shall not have the chance to work on the new campus. We are both leaving Carleton, just as we are about to move into our new home. Our memories of Carleton will cluster about this old red brick building, destined to fall into other hands and to be used for another purpose. In some respects, it has ben a homely, even tawdry building, certainly a far cry from the colour and spaciousness of the new buildings on the Rideau River Campus. But for all of us it has meant Carleton. It has been a sort of whirling microcosm of a university's life -- the scene of lectures, of plays, of pep rallies, of dances, of debates, of. concerts, of all the myriad activities that go into a university and make it something more than a mere place of indoctrination. And this small building has created, too, a feeling of in- timacy and community that will be difficult to recapture. I sometimes think that there is no building in the whole of Canada that has been used more fully and more splen- didly. But it would be foolish for us to live forever in pioneer days, no matter how glori- Ous they may have been. All of us will welcome the new campus and will experience a keen, vicarious pleasure when those who come after enter the first classes next September, leaving behind the cramped little campus in the Glebe for the broad acres and the light and spacious halls that look down on river and canal, Clumfe T.
