The Old Academic Building is a visual image of the past. The campus is rapidly reaching the state of being modern.', At any institution that is growing at the rate of ODC, construction is a daily fact of life. The steady baroom-cha-baroom-cha of the pile driver promises to provide a musical background at ODC for several years to come. Rather like rain on a tin roof, the crane's rhythm has a hypnotic effectg when it stops suddenly, the cam- pus population jumps into rapid consciousness. Visually, the landscape seems to reshape itself overnight. Yes- terday's crumbling architecture is replaced by the symmetrical steel and brick monuments to modern institutional construction. Land made available by the city's urban renewal is being used for college expansion as rapidly as state funds are made available. Some envision the day When Old Dominion students will require shuttle service to get from one section of the campus to another in time for classes. New growth brings on forced change-and, of course, nostal- gia. Although there are all the elements of greater efficiency and increased mobility in modern surroundings, there is a moment's sadness in the vacated offices and halls. In these older surround- ings are the ghosts of plans and dreams that are now our daily reality. It is indeed hard to keep up with the change sometimes. And, it is rather funny that today's modern campus will a few years from now be called the old campus. 1919 1930. .. 1954 1956 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1967 1967 Spotlights College began with extension classes offered in late after- and evening for teachers and adult study groups. founded as the Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary.
