HIECAMIPUSARIE The Forty Acres: a complete world in itself, detached and trans- planted by itself. Here We have watched men rise and fall, We have watched the fermentation and explosion of politics, We have lived in peace or in discord with our neighbor. For many of us the Institute has been our home for many years. We may take vacations from it in the summer, but we always return until it has nothing more to give us, then we strain our heart-strings for this our country and for our countrymen and move on to the next World.

HEADQUARTERS Sixtl-Ni Headquarters-the great capitol of our community wherein lies the power to make and break men, to give or refuse financial assistance, to portion out implements for academic and physical betterment. Herein the solemn councils that determine the policies of the Institute convene. It is in this building that the new cadet has business firstg it is in this same building that the members of the First Class must pay their final graduation fee.

Here heavily-booted pilgrims, searching for Truth, clank through the halls or climb steps on which they often fall, throwing their books across the path of others, or jump be- cause of the touch of someone who is coming up directly behind him. An aura of wisdom pervades this place and influences all that pass through its hallowed walls. There are fine laboratories and a splendid library here in which cadets can experiment and study and find out what life is really all about.
