When the students returned for the fall term, they were greeted by this newly completed and beautiful Student Center and iJormitory. Dr. Leo P. Clements, Professor of Anatomy, expresses his gratitude for the honor accorded him at Convocation. A NEW LOOK, On the terrace beneath the Observatory, it was still warm enough for the Creighton student to watch the goldfish gliding leisurely in the pond, while a block away the first result of a new idea was on display. The bold, new Student Center and Deglman Hall had opened their doors to some fifteen hundred visitors. These were the first fruits of the Greater Creighton Development Program, and everyone con- nected with the University took time out to be proud both of the feat already accomplished and of the ambition of the future program. The splendid new facilities were well appreci- ated, but proportionately the fall enrollment continued the foreboding increase of the past few years. Student activities also increased, both in numbers and in energy. The Presidential election and the World Series preserved a contact with the outside world, while, within the University, Student Board elections and in- tramural football vied for attention. One of the most excellent student achievements of the fall was the production of Joan of Lorraine, which has helped the old auditorium set quite a tradition for the newly- planned theater to live up to. 16
