The Campus N everlasting symbol of the age and lofty tradition of Rutgers is the never-changing beauty of the campus, especially Queens. Not infrequently do we see old grad: wandering about the paths they trod in years gone by, living once more their college days, and reueling again in beauty of their surroundings. To greet their eyes also, are new buildings, new paths to tread, and new symbol: of the spirit of the college. As the journey about the campus has been made this past year, a landmark, young in comparison with many of the buildings about the campus, yet perhaps best known to the graduate: of the last thirty-five years, is not found. Early in january, 1950, Ballantine Gymnasium burned to the ground, leaving the college without a center for its recreational and social life. Soon there will arise a new landmark, and in years to come there will be students who will never know of the old gym. But to several thousands of Rutgers men one of the outstanding memories of the place will always be Old Bally. And then too, it is always almost a matter of pride to lead the girlf friend, who ha: never been down to New Brunswick be- fore, about the campus, pointing out the places of interest. Be- neath the- following scenes is a conversation one might hear under similar conditions, back last spring, before the gym burned.
