Whether on campus or off, we dare not disregard development and change. Every man aware of the times must surely feel the pulsing, quickening tempo which civilization is heating. Sometimes progressing, here and there digressing down a side trail, hut always heating taster -always changing. Thus we who have attended Franklin and Marshall College have felt this physical and intellectual progression along with a promise of greater expectations and changes in the future. The promise of greater things to come is the nourishing incentive which inten- sifies and heightens the consuming hunger of progress. We have witnessed the transformation of a halt-useful Stahr llall into one ol' the major ed- ucational centers on the campus. The change is symholic ol' the intellectual and spiritual growths ofthe student hody which will enahle them to grow from immature youths into responsihle citi- zens. Ground was hroken forthe physical education center which promises to meet the ever growing needs of the college, so too we introspectively see the ground hrealcing and the insti- gation of our intellectual capacities to meet the demands of society. Perhaps even more in- dicative of student progress is the major curriculum change which stresses the development ol. the whole man, so that he can enter adult life in all its phases with understanding and good will. The growth of the college has not heen eaSY. hut when an institution or idea finds itsell supported hy high ideals, then one cannot expect iudiltercnt growth. l ,NV K

Biesecker Gymnasium represents and reflects the Well-roundedness that typifies the liberal arts education. Here the ac- tivities and accomplishments of the mind find complement through the attunement of a vigorous body. Here the athletic, not necessarily varsity, find fulfillment. Here competition, with all its ramifications, is met and here the theory of sportsmanship, so vital to our nation, is promulgated.
