1060 Nliw 'l'RIliR graduate would find it hard to picture graduating from the New 'lirier of fill years years ago. To him, New 'lirier is a me- lange ot modern buildings, out-of-room per- mits, ability groupings, and special bulle- tins. llence, the New 'lirier of other years, the foundation of today's dynamic institu- tion, would be hardly recognizable to him. For New 'l'rier, its students, and its tradi- tions have undergone changes in every ref spect.

A further unify- ing measure was the all-school assembly which began each school day. Students were assigned permanent assembly-seats which facilitated quick taking of the roll. There were no adviser chairmen in those early days, for the adviser system had not yet been initiated. A tardy student knew that he was to report straight to the dean and volubly explain the reason for his late arrival. Similarly, on the first day of school, program cards were distributed by the attendance ofhce rather than the adviser and were brought back there for correction of the inevitable mistakes.
