After 150 years of rich history, DePauw looks toWard the future. But the DePauw of tomorrow may change. It is time to Take Another Leek As the Sesquicentennial celebration commenced, we began looking back to our illustrious history full of lasting traditions both in and around our strong academic environment. Our vision was altered as Dr. Bottoms became the new president of DePauw and introduced new initiatives which quickly -focused everyone's attention on the future. Diversity was the watchword as President Bottoms suggested and set into motion many of the policies to achieve his goals. To the university's delight, Wilma Rudolph, three time gold medal winner in the 1960 Olympics, was named the Director of the Women's Track Program and Special Consultant to the President on Minority Affairs. Fraternities, Alumnae and administration actively, and sometimes violently, discussed the possibility of a new freshmen men's dorm. As we looked back to the past this sesquicentennial year, we also looked to the future and, for better or for worse, a possible change in the DePauw tradition. Bowman Pond looks alluring as the hot, fall sun shines on the Performing Arts Center.
