PROGRESS 1 l FEELING of activity and rejuvenation has been in Duke ' s tobacco-scented air for several years, as thoughts and ideas have gradually emerged as tangi- ble plans. Then progress suddenly became visible: ground was broken and buildings began to rise, brick on brick. Khaki-clad workmen were as numerous as khaki-clad undergraduates, and the noise of ce- ment-mixers droned above the unmistakable sound of Student Studying. Announced changes in policy affected both students and faculty, and new trends accompanied the freshness of attitude and outlook. Progress was the keynote of it all, a transition, a second generation for Duke University — and it is cnly a beginning. In the life of any institution a complete change- over must periodically occur, when the outdated and useless give way to the modern and vigorous. The past year witnessed the birth of a new era for our comparatively young school; few facets of uni- versity life escaped examination and evaluation. Last fall, the campus populace returned to find Myrtle Drive still faithfully linking the worlds of East and West, but in other respects the physical plant had been expanded and improved. A $2,000,- 000 Law School Building was under construction, the new Biological Sciences Building was nearing completion, and the Woman ' s College Infirmary was preparing for occupancy. An addition to the Medical Center had been constructed during the summer, and the Presyterian Student Center was almost finished. Connecting Duke and Erwin Roads was a new roadway, built to alleviate any traffic problems which might arise in connection with the new law building and the proposed units for married graduate students. One of the cafeterias on West Campus had been redecorated, emerging as the at- tractive University Room, and Aycock Hous was painted and refurbished. If some plans had been realized, others were yet to be fulfilled. A $4,500,000 addition to the main library and a new Fine Arts Building will eventually grace the campuses. This is the largest building program undertaken by the University since West Campus opened thirty-two years ago. 5 • M ' ' ' -- ' L Tiled walls brighten a zoology lab in the new Biology Building.
