. surround Southern Methodist University, in its relation to the great Southwest With the cultural heritage peculiar to an area distinct in its civilization and proud in its tradition; more closely, the city of Dallas encompasses the University with the infiuenee of an urbanity newly arising in the country just now reflecting upon the meaning of its amazing growth. And at the center of these circles, moulded by them and at the same time exerting an inHuence upon them, Southern Methodist University flourishes, the exponent of the culture of the ages shaped by the civili- zation of today. Similarly, within the University there are circles with a com- mon center; and each of these circles at the last encompassesethe student. The 1956 ROTUNDA depicts the University as it concentrates the many and various inHuences of an education for LIVING upon the student. Surrounding all, of course, there is the beautiful campus With its physical facilities for the promotion of learning. We pay particular attention, this year, to the newest addition to the Univer- sity-Umphrey Lee Student Center. Moving inward, we show the intel- lectual facilitiesethe faculty responsible for the shaping of minds. Then, the social facilities are portrayed, in their various aspects. And finally, there are the students themselves. Thus does your ROTUNDA attempt to encircle for you, Southern Methodist University, 1956.

From all over the area comes a wide variety of groups, from the Texas Interscholastic League to the ministers of surrounding states to the professional association of engineers. lawyers, and businessmen. The publications of the SMU Press, both single volumes and the quarterly, The Southwest Review, are a fine illustration of the new cultural development in the Southwest and the growth into an urban Civilization. The philosophy of the University is infiueneed by, though of course not limited to, the Southwest: the outlook of the University encompasses the vigor, the questing spirit, and the new demand for free speculation, typical of the great area of which it is now an integral part.
