)ld With New Cheery though soggy officials take part in ceremonies marking the be- ginning of student center to be. Like New Orleans, its native city, Loyola is a blend of old and new. The fanniliar red brick Gothic of the existing buildings are being comple- mented by structures under construction to meet the needs of the grow- ing university. Between Bobet hall and the fieldhouse a dormitory and student cen- ter are rising, and a central utilities plant has been erected. Scheduled for occupation in September of 1963, the six-story resi- dence hall will house 400 students, 10 senior proctors, and five priests. The same month will see the student center completed. The three- level structure will house a bookstore, a modern cafeteria and main dining room, a snackbar, student lounge, faculty dining area and post office on the main floor. The other floors will contain business offices and meeting rooms.

Academic Life Proves Rewarding The endless rounds of classes, conferences, quizzes, and exams often make a blur of academic life for hardworking undergraduates. The assimilation of new knowledge is not easy and the results often seem, at first sight, inconse- quential when compared to the effort. The change is slow, but it is there. A joke in a new language to a friend, a thought of unexpected depth, a lifelong belief reexamined and rejected or confirmed— and the student sees that the work will eventually achieve the goal. Loyola university ' s six schools and colleges—arts and sciences, business administration, music, law, dentistry, pharmacy, and the evening division— are dedicated to this goal: the formation of a well-rounded individual, equipped for leadership in the intellectual, social, civic, and religious circles of his world and man ' s. Exams test the degree of knowledge a student has acquired from classroom lectures. Under skilled supervision dentistry seniors prepare for private dental practice. II
