-.4 I -. fl Encompassed by a city whose historic past is second to none in the United States, Drexel can be proud of its own contributions to a variety of fields in science and arts. Philadelphia's reputation as the birthplace of liberty is memorialized by such monuments to the realization of a free nation as the Mall, Christ's Church, Carpenter's Hall, and many other buildings. The city's past is studded with the names of outstanding civic-minded personalities, such as Stephen Girard, .lohn Wanamaker, and our own founder, Anthony ,l. Drexel. Though Drexel's history merges relatively recently with that of the city, it has long since overcome its youthful growing pains and is now looking for- ward to the inevitable expansion which the years ahead will require. Increased enrollment has led to a need for a larger and more substantial campus. Addi- tions have been made to the main building and nearby structures have been purchased by the Institute. More recently, Drexel has constructed a science building and a library. Philadelphia's policy of redevelopment during the past years has been re- sponsible for its gaining national recognition for urban renewal. Paralleling the city's renaissance, Drexel has molded old and new into an educational structure that should insure for the Institute expanding and continuing pres- tige. To those many who have invested their time and their faith in the prog- ress of both Philadelphia and Drexel and the history they helped create, we give our thanks as we try to recapture some of the old, as well as the new in this year's book.
