fl.M.Q. GamfutL As I approached the campus some of my fears and misgivings disappeared. Everything must be all right in such a lovely spot. It is like a lovely garden one reads about, not landscaped perfection in the modern sense, but living and growing as God himself must have intended. Even the birds seem to know that. The robins are everywhere, seeming to proclaim that this is their world, and I the intruder. I have heard that there are pheasants here — yes, there is one now, perfectly at ease in the grass. And the last of the fall flowers stand defiantly, bursting with color, reluctant to let go of their petals and join the autumn leaves playing around them; while the honeysuckle and lilac proudly display berries and seedlings, their promises of more loveliness next spring. When Joyce Kilmer wrote only God can make a tree , he could very well have been on this campus under one of these lovely old trees, whose whispers match any of your moods , if you will only listen ! I am so glad that I decided to come here to RMC, home of the bears . As I draw closer to the buildings I see that they aren ' t at all what I had ex- pected — but I should have ! They go perfectly in this setting - with the rim- rocks in the background, and the lovely campus over which they stand guard like an austere schoolmaster. Such dignity and wisdom seem to emanate from those old stone buildings; as if all the secrets of the ages have come and gone through those doors. As I stand on the steps and look around, I feel very humble. This could be something out of a book I had read sometime. I can not help but feel that I have lots to live up to and accomplish— these halls im- ply tradition. I hear students laughing, then a shout. There seems to be a warmth and friendliness in the atmosphere. If the inside is half as nice as my impression of the campus, I know I shall love Rocky.

J f2 ?67 Qamfuti SCIENCE BUILDING Interest of students in science programs accentuates the need for adequate facili- ties in this ever-growing area of learning. Science is assuming a greater importance in the academic structure of colleges. LIBRARY In preparing for student generations to come, it is clear that Rocky must have a new Library. The plan calls for building the Library at the earliest possible date. Much of the value to be derived from a liberal arts college comes from frequent and careful use of the Library. PHYSICAL EDUCATION BUILDING The program of student activities is incomplete without recreation, compe- tition and physical activities. This unit will serve the College and also the Community. STUDENT UNION One of the most important needs of the College can be satisfied with the construction of this building. It will provide a center of student activities and social education. It should include dining halls, lounges, commit- tee and conference rooms, recreational and social areas. DORMITORY FOR MEN The new dormitory is essential to alleviate over-crowded living conditions. The Dormitory is beine financed bv a self-amortizing loan from the Federal Government.
