2p- ((A, SERVANT OF GOD M e m o r a m It is extremely difficult for a vision or a dream to become a reality and such a thing seldom ever happens. Therefore, the Sou-ivest ' er here takes the opportunity to pay tribute respectfully to a man who lived, worked, and died that Iris dream of a greater Southwestern might become a reality. Dr. }. N. R. Score was a man of vision, a man of high ideals, a man of God, and a man whose life was devoted to the best interests of his fellow man. Throughout his eight years on this campus, Dr. Score worked to make Southwestern a university of which all Methodism could be proud and succeeding years will prove his work ivas not in vain. Mere words cannot memorialize the efforts and effects of this man on our university. However, the buildings which will be erected will stand forever as a fitting tribute and the young men and women who are receiving and will receive their education in these halls of learning will go out into the world as living memorials to the success of a man who had the determination and courage to make his dreams come true-Dr. J. N. R. Score

OUR CAMPUS of SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY On the wide-lawned campus here at Southwestern is enacted a drama of youth: of carefree hours spent among friends, of fruitful hours spent in satisfying study, of heartaches, of joys. Here is a pattern for living. When one recalls Southwestern he remembers many things — things which touch the heartstrings and bring forth the reminis- cent music of happy moments plucked from cadenzas of serious thought, bouyant friendships, poignant griefs, ever-widening horizons, peace, and restful security. Southwestern is more than all of these, more than the buildings, more than the people — it is a tradition, and an ideal. If only the shady walks might tell the secrets which their sympathetic ears have heard; if only the buildings might share the whispered dreams, and the confidence which comes with knowledge. The years will never erase these memories, for they are as indelible as time: Moonlight over the Ad Building etching in gentle relief the stone towers and ivy-covered walls that have seen generation upon generation pass by in search of a future the Student Union and the disappointed faces after selling a book back, the easy rhythm of the tinkling upright piano, the fast and furious ping-pong games Mood Hall, — yes, good old Mood Hall, with its balconies and skylight, its familiar views from the west windows of the tracks and the watertower, the boys, the controlling hand of Mrs. Cornwell the infirmary, the restless patients anxious to be up — to be with the friends who come to the windows and talk because they are not allowed in as visitors the thrill of a football game at Snyder Field, the crowd, the yells, the antics at half time, the colorful floats across the field at Homecoming, the proud feeling when the Pirates emerge from the fieldhouse the Art Shop, with trumpet sounds coming from the band room, and clay modeling and figure drawing going on in the art department, the No Admittance print shop with its myriad equipment Skinney ' s Tavern, where good friends get together, the scene of conversation over coffee cups, elation and dejection at the mailboxes, the clink of nickels on the pinball machines and I ' ve got the next one! , the innumerable posters on election day the Angels of Barracks A (not always so angelic) who think it is their job to keep the dog kingdom well populated the old Science Building, decrepit but still there, still keeping students up until all hours with Bunsen burners and test tubes searching for unknowns the Science Facility, with its dogfish and dogged Biology students the com- bination of sounds coming from the Fine Arts Building: an orchestra, band, chorus, fifteen pianists and an organist all tuning up at the same time Rendezvous at the library with love as the general heading the exciting varsity basketball and girls ' intramural volleyball games in the gym, the P. E. classes, and the tap dancers finally, L. K. Hall, the midnight gab sessions and cheese and cracker parties (chili, before the hotplates were confiscated), the dining hall, the annex and chapter rooms, the immaculate cleaning when visitors are expected, the traffic jam on Saturday nights, the farewells on the front porch On this our campus is built an institution; on this campus is built a hope — to give each student, outside the realm of degrees and teachers ' certificates, an intangible guidepost for the future. 4
