With the advent of the new curriculum at Gustavus during the academic year of 1963-64 carrie many academic experiments and successes. The curriculum proved to be an interesting in- novation with students, faculty and administration members equally confused but excited to make the best of the situation. Success was generally found, particularly attested to by the eager response of the student body to the three week winter term. Perhaps much of the credit for the fruition of these plans is due to a rather unique quality which Gustavus holds. Such a quality is somewhat intangible and is far from palpable, for this quality is based almost solely upon the personalities and natures of the Gustavus academic family-its students and professors. The casual and personal relationships between these two essential elements contribute not only to the successful at- tainment of academic achievement but also to the growth of the student as a person. New worlds of education are apparent and developing at Gustavus. 13 Q- x J, l p V t e .-whirl I da.. Qet , ' . , -ii X ' A i l ,g..x.....-,, .

New Worlds of Architecture 1' I tif l 1 i ur it f i Q i N N .ft 'X , g .H I Wi., - t. ?i+ J. From the glare of the sun reflecting upon the spire of Christ Chapel to the relic of the war, the classroom annex, to the building which has witnessed nearly a century of Gustavians passing though its doors and known to all alumni and students as Old Main, there is quite a contrast in the architecture. How- ever, such differences are significant for they indicate the growth and the progress of the college. This academic year saw the opening of the doors of another new womenls dormitory, Valley View. The Nobel Hall of Science, dedicated last year, saw its Hrst complete year of use and further development of its facilities. Sod replaced the old North Hall and the Ranch- erino. Besides the significant architectural inconsistency of the Gustavus campus, the sculptural contributions merit and com- mand interest. Granlund's Jacob and the Angel and bas re- liefs on the chapel doors and Gregory's Man in the Universe all add beauty and a certain uniqueness to the Gustavus cam- pus. New worlds of architecture stretch from ground to sky and end to end of the Gustavus campus.
