NICHOLS GYMNASIUM

Page 20 text:

Erected to the sods of fair play and clean sport, Nichols gymnasium por- trays in its architecture those noble characteristics of the brave knights of feudal England. Named for a former president, the towers of Nichols hark back to the day of chivalry in old Britain. We are reminded also of the years when we vvere struggling for a place in the sun. Within these walls men learn to be good sportsmen, and to play the game for the love of it. Led by Mike and Bo they are here imbued with that fighting Wild- cat spirit, the flame of which grows brighter as the years go by . . . and somehow, never dies!

Electrical currents and railroad curves mingle with cosines and tangents in this temple of empire builders, the Engineering building. Behind its por- tals men study who will someday build a higher Eiffel tower, or a better Brooklyn bridge. To the right lies the memorial stadium, scene of many grid- iron battles. To the left one sees Kedzie hall and the main campus drive. Behind the building is the roaring giant of heat and light, the new power plant. Across the little valley to the front, one may see the spring football men hitting the line, and tennis rackets swinging smartly. From around the right of the hall there often emerges a happy group returning from a baseball game or an intramural contest. msmfi S S ii-
