BUILDINGS SHOW PROGRESS ON CAMPUS Old Main, the oldest building on campus is representative of the early traditions of McMurry. Old Main, the oldest building on campus, is indeed a representation of the many and old traditions here at McMurry. Rad ford Student Life Center, better known as Radford Auditorium is a gift from Mrs. J. M. Radford, philan- thropist and prominent MCMurry bene- factress. The building was completed and opened for student use in the fall of 1950. One of the most striking build- ings on McMurry's campus is the jay- Rollins Library opened for use in 'Feb- ruary, 1964. It is a memorial to Mr. and Mrs. S. M. jay and Mr. and Mrs. Nat G. Rollins from whose estate it was largely financed. I ,tie E x -4--'gTT- if ii Above is Mr. Gray in the campus post office.

The architecture stresses the low and the sleek. The extensive use of glass and con- crete increases the striking appearance of the newly designed buildings. All of these charac- teristics help to give the illusion of expanse. The new Finch-Gray Science Center com- pleted in December of 1966, is indeed a source of pride for both faculty and students. Named in memory of the two families who contributed most towards its completion, the science center is the latest addition to the campus complex. C. E. Maedgen Administration Building was completed in 1962. A tribute to the late Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Maedgen of Lubbock, Texas, the building houses the administrative offices of the college.
