Grant Field, a prominent par'I' of the campus scene, is the center of much activity on Saturdays during the fall. ampus Picture han es apidl EXPANSION IS THE key word in describing the trend in physical facilities at Georgia Tech. Since the Second WO1'lCl Wai' the requirements for technically trained people has caused a growing influx of stu- dents. To meet this need Tech has built six new build- ings in the past decade and presently has one under construction. The Hightower Textile Building led off this chain reaction in l94L8, providing Tech with the most corn- plete facility in the country devoted to instruction and research in textile engineering. ln 1952 the Architecture Building was completed and was followed in fifty-three by the Price Gilbert Library, housing the lnstitute's collection of general, engineering, and scientific books. Since that time the school has added the Rich Elec- tronic Computor Center, Alexander Memorial Build- ing, and the Navy Reserve Training Center to its list of new edihces.
