As we began our middle year, a group of Phi Beta Alpha brothers re- vived an old tradition by stealing Rhody ' s ram. Future expansion of the Univer- sity ' s physical plant was insured when 12,000,000 worth of neighborhood in- dustrial property was purchased. Nancy MacLean vas elected Homecoming Queen and watched Southern Conn. State defeat the Hus- kies, 23-6. For the first time doctorate de- grees on the Co-op Plan were offered in chemistry, physics and electrical en- gineering. Art Chisolm was named Ail- American again, but spurned a profes- sional contract from the Boston Bruins in favor of a career in business. To help solve the parking prob- lem, the Boston Storage Warehouse was torn do vn and the land hard top- ped for use as a parking lot. As national fraternities were al- lowed on campus, the University pur- chased the Roosevelt Apartments, Dean Alexander retired as Dean of the College of Engineering and was re- placed by Dean Ronald Scott and the nuclear lab received a grant to inves- tigate sub-atomic particles. We began our junior year in a philanthropic mood, raising money for the destitute Korean island, Cheju- do. A pharmacy school became the University ' s sixth college and Arlene Wissenbach was elected Homecoming Queen as we lost to Vermont, 6-0. The campus was electrified by the announcement of a $40 million devel- opment program, the basketball team won the regional championship and sororities appeared on campus. Then it arrived. Our senior year, recorded in the pages of this CAULDRON. Stephen J. Green 19

The Atomic Energy Commission granted the University |41,284 to be used for a nuclear reactor and $45,000 worth of equipment was added to the mechanical engineering labs.

Art Chisholm received hockey AU-American honors and a physical education major was offered. While we celebrated the golden anniversary of Northeastern ' s, Co-oper- ative Plan of Education, a new Alma Mater was composed. 18
