f But- the dead-Anand' ofthe pastlmust not thwart the 'marc-h of progressf The moundmust be moved. Sweet Musick fmust, be heard throughout .the landL We are buildersg We literally build mounds, and building 'requires destruction. The I envision' silo-tyfpe launching pads, extending jinto the core of the gmoun- tain for -the space ,craft of a later-year, ' ' ,i . rock. from 'which the Greek V3FiZiSiI'CEl rved 'Wifnged Victo- ry ,was torn from its 'first and .natural setting, Even the Taj Mahal was oncejpic- -turesquely scattered about the fouricorners of India. The mound could be -re- built: ,We will move ogur' mountain 'to the lower campus! Even' if it means that the lower campus may become, the upper campus, From the foundation of' the old will rise thenew. A Q V 'nd such a mountainlas Dean.Allen' never dreamed, will spring' from the new. Indeed, it will grow on the lower campus'-in a conspic- uous spot, bathed in 'the .softglow 'by night, 'rimmed by bronze plaque' and mar- ble bench by day -- clearly' evident -to' all who pass by, .that here - atthe heartof our College- we-reveal 2+ we glorify - we proclaim,+ we visually 'symbolize that we are- builders. Q- And the 'mountain 'twill grow - overlapping and finally encasing the Library, M-ossman Hall, the Presi- dentfs-' residence and the dormitories. S-ubterranian passages, equipped with escalators, will serve as connectional arteries, for the college facilities miles beneath its forested and snow-capped peaks. While in those jblissful carefree days of Dean A-llen S thoughts 'were of peacefui vactionland and bountiful crops: our concern inthe perilous 19627 is that this shield of rock will eventual- ly -protect the future -builder from Hydrogen bursts, and deadly fall out.-As Dean, I envision silo-type launching pads, extending into the core of--the mountain for it-he space craft gof a llater -year. Apademicaiiyi we will not boast ofa Washington' S.emeste'r'nor a Junior year abroad, but rather of a, Sat- urn seemesrer and'aJ'unior year aloft-. The physics dl partment will be in charg of the atomic reactors, ,pr ducing -power, biologist will continue their experi mentation withartifical- lif giving light and fertilizer and the maintenance cre will with vigilant care regu ia-re the air purification- sys tem in-the same thoroug manner as they now main tain uniform heat through out the buildings. 'The cam pus will become a self-con tained unit -and as 'spas modicwars rage' overhead the quiet struggle fo knowledge .wisdom 'an grace will pulsatel th Nlound s protective cover. ing ln the occasional lull between onslaughts th' Builderscholars, will ven ture forth fproperly- pro tected from the deadly air and .climbcthe 77-777 steps and look out over the de. vasted country-side and cal we who build hereltonigh - blessed-among men. 3, , 7 , Y it Y XX J- 'S I xi'-fl' Fi'-4 If , 3 . q v .
