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.

In its one hundred and second year as an institution, Gustavus Adolphus College has something in common with its modest beginnings in that it still maintains its ties with the Lutheran Church. However, muchlhas changed with the passing of the years. Today there are many worlds in which the members of the Gustavus family engulfs himself. The worlds of activity utilize much of students' free time and often some of their time which is not actually of the free variety. The worlds of activity enable a student to develop close friendships and often friendships which are more than close. The worlds of activity help the student develop his leadership abilities to a more responsible level. And the worlds of activity provide plain and sim- ple unadulterated fun and some of the most lasting mem- ories of the four years of college. The worlds of educa- tion offer to the student the chance to develop and train his mind to the fullest possible extent. The worlds of education open new doors to Fields of interest and realms of knowledge. The worlds of education enable students to become well acquainted withprofessors and thus profit from the experience and learning of their elders And the worlds of education provide the stim- ulation to continue one's education, either formally or informally, after one departs from Gustavus with di- ploma in hand. The worlds of architecture not only serve to enhance the beauty of the campus but also are necessary tools in the implementation of the worlds of activity and the worlds of education. And so, the 1964 GUSTAVIAN presents to you New Worlds Around Us. 17 ' , is ,nl i l I Y f' iii 331. if ---4 'S' . -J J ,. .- . Q dug! u 1?
