Vicissitude of Locality i The students of Lawrence Institute of Technology, during the fall term of 1955, will attend classes in a mag- nificently new building. A new school is more than merely a new building. It is a Visage of future greatness. Prospective engineering students will view the new building as a concrete example of the school's progressive ability. As future graduates, they will benefit greatly by the prestige of the superbly new educational institution that Lawrence Institute of Technology has become. The graduate of past years will sense a feeling of pride and accomplishment in the growth of his Alma Mater. Nine wif, wks my it w axuwzef , rs iw' vis S 1 S 'sm frll if sa it ffm ,Q 39514 is F N51

Retrospect 19- 5 n'Technical skill can achieve most any kind of a miracle-whether it be new forms of entertainment or better working conditions. The engineer's Work is that of the pioneer. Already he is using that pioneering instinct in business. Soon the technically trained men will take the reins of industry and government. It was this firm belief in the future of the engineer that motivated Dean Russell Ellsworth Lawrence to found an engineering college in the midst of economic chaos. While less farsighted men came forth with prediction of gloom in 1932, Dean Lawrence began the fulfillment of a dream, to educate engineers as leaders. He did not live to see its completion, as death came two years later. His legacy to the people of Detroit was a rich one, Lawrence Institute of Technology, a gleaming new campus school that has become a reality. We, the graduating seniors, will not have the opportunity of using the new school B 1.k D . . . . ut 1 e ean Lawrence, we the sp1r1t of LIT will see Lawrence lnstltute of Technology rise to even greater heights. As we take our places as men in the world, our heart felt gratitude extends to the man whose undying faith and courage in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles made it possible. fl 'tt W vl 4 tt Founder 1889 - 1934 Eight DEAN RUSSELL ELLSWORTH LAWRENCE
