to 'I' H li 1907 O N O N IJ .ll Cf .-'IN The Year S IN Tllli PAST FEW YEARS, so of last year it is quite impossible to . adequately describe the year at Syracuse University in other than superlative ju, M. terms. A complete review of the year would require much more space than gisigc is allowed in this book. The watch word at Syracuse is growth. A growth that tends to make the University an important factor in the college world and to give its students such advantages as the best universities offer. Perhaps the most noticeable progress during the past year has been in the way of new buildings. Thirty years ago our campus presented one building, the boast of the new Syracuse University, today the buildings of the University, together with those in process of construction number twenty. The new stadium, which will be one of the largest and Finest in the country, is rapidly nearing completion. The University is indebted to Mr. John D. Archbold for this important addition. just south of the old oval is being constructed a beautiful library building, a monument to the generosity of Mr. Andrew Carnegie. The new engineering building, the second gift of the kind from Mr. Lyman C. Smith, is being built at the east end of the proposed quadrangle. What will be one of the most beautiful of college buildings is the Lyman lrlall of Natural His- tory, now being erected on the eastern side of the campus to form the last of one front row of buildings. The latest announcements are the gift of a tnen's dormitory, and the voting by the trustees of a .Hall of Chemistry. Work on these buildings will be begun this spring. In addition to these the trustees have purchased the Yates Castle and its beautiful grounds. A College of Pedagogy, making the sixth college of the University will be opened here this fall. ' ln athletics, Syracuse has enjoyed a marked progress. All branches have been placed under the supervision of a graduate manager, and are now in a most flourishing condition. The work of our crews is too well known to demand further comment. Competent coaches, together with faithful and loyal men, have made for the Orange teams in football, crew, baseball, basketball, track and tennis important factors in the college world of athletics, a prominent position. Not only has the University enjoyed marvelous growth and progress in the num- ber of buildings and in athletics, but as well in every phrase of university life. In- creased endowments, a larger attendance, additional teachers and courses, higher scholastic standards, greater activity in college journalism and debating are all marks of a greater university. Such, in a hurried review, are the conditions at Syracuse University. Our progress in the past has indeed been marvelous, but, with a large number of generous friends and loyal alumni greater things are in store for us in the future. Every son of Syracuse can well be proud of his Alma Mater and rejoice that he is, or soon will be, an alumnus of so great a University.
