The partially completed infirmary building, showing signs of future impressiveness, stared back hollow-eyed at two curious students. 1951— Broke New Ground and Some Old Precedents 1951 was our year of metamorphosis ... a year of breaking new ground and old prece- dents. Some rules were innovated, others were renovated. A real feeling of ease pervaded the student ' s life; the words, Liberal Arts College, took on double meaning. The new Deans, Miss Stephenson and Mrs. Wade, inaugurated fresh traditions of their own . . . meals in the dining hall . . . infir- mary visits ... an open-house atmosphere to their office hours and interviews. There was anticipation of a new silhouette across our skyline as buildings began to rise. The physical boundaries of the campus were widening. There was student talk of a longer class break. The bicycle age was almost on us. All these things formed a chain reaction that knocked us out of our lethargy. There w as a greater pride and enthusiasm throughout cam- pus life. We awoke to the fact that our old loyalty had put down new and deeper roots.
