This year also saw the completion of some units of Bethlehem Steel ' s new Research Center on top of South Mountain.

As the University approaches its 1965 centen- nial anniversary, plans for a new arts college are on the boards and funds for its construction are being acquired.

The foundation of Americ an liberal educa- tion is set in the art of self knowledge as well as the ability to master technical skills. Lehigh happily plays host to the parents of undergraduates at a luncheon in Grace Hall shortly before the Parent ' s Day football game.
