'lille tremendous construction activity on the campus this year is illustrative of the speed with which the 25-year plan of' expansion is heing put, into effect and an example of the enterprise of' President Bennett. .His ahility to piclx from the masses those who have definite ambitions and intelligence to learn have enahled hun- dreds of deserving individuals to attend A. a11d M. who. hecause of adverse financial circumstances. would have heen denied the opportunity. He secured for A. and M. this year huilding appropriations totalling f'ar more than that received hy any other school in the state. A fourth story has been added to VVhitehurst Hall, and a fine arts huilding. and engineer- ing huilding, and a field house are now under construction. Despite the fact that he is not often seen on the campus, his influence and guidance is felt i11 every part ol' the school. ln the student en1ployn1ent division alone. it is significant that Doctor l5ennett's insight into the problems of modern youth led l1i1n to an efl'ort to provide adequate self-help agencies long hefore the N.
