Even though in use such a short time, the building has already become such an intimate part of the daily life of the member of the Reed community that all sense of its newness is gone, and it is accepted as a welcome member of the Charming group of build- ings which help to form our campus. The building has filled a long-felt want. When the college was newer and smaller, the 01d Commons and social rooms were easily adapted to house our various activities.
