fhxf fi, -sfkil -V-X-f QUADRANGLE WAS UNDER fifties we never had the privilege of knowing the late Brig. Gen. L. R. Gignilliat - in whose memory the new academic center is a tribute.

ll? If F REMEMBER the academic year? - strug- gling with language, rushing to get that theme in on time, and that old familiar question, Have you studied for the test this morning? Somedays we were exultant after doing well on a physics quiz, and often the opposite was true. More important, however, was the faculty - those who led, those who advised, and those who taught. Some were serious, some humorous, and some sarcastic, but they all had one quality in common - the desire to help us, the cadets. The classes were like the teachers in that each had a character of its own, but in all was the spirit of the search for knowledge. REMEMBER the iron grilled gate entrance to the reading room at Memorial Library? 27
