PART or QUADRANGLE years will use the means they have acquired to educate the sons and daughters of their less fortunate fellow citizens. The Syracuse of tomorrow will develop along several different lines. Here will be the home of the classics and the humanities. The new library, with its ample provision for future expansion, is prophetic. Along with its preparation for the commercial necessities of the age the university will provide for culture, broad and deep. A graduate school, its professors enabled by proper endowment to carry on the work of research without too great thought for their own future, is among the logical necessities. ' That pure science will receive abundant attention is .shown by the ,recognition of the demand for increased laboratory facilities. The existing departments are in .far better quar- ters than in the majority of Institutions. The future will see 'new lines of teaching and re- search instituted to meet the increasing demands. The physical building will be enlarged, and the facade fronting on theaquadrangle will compare favorablywith the other buildings in that portion of the campus. It is true, however, that one of the greatest developments of the near future awaits the Smith College of Applied Science. Added equipments and other buildings facing the 5 1 X 15 . , we ' i . .

A CAMPUS VIEW . - ' ' tl foresight that our present chancellor was first mentioned for the task of supervising the grow 1 of the university. From the lirst Chancellor Day saw the opportunity that the location of Syracuse afforded. He also saw more early than any other man at that time that the day of small things had passed away. The Syracuse of the future must have great buildings and large endowments. The institution must pass through the age of brick and mortar, so that eventually there should he the proper housing for the multitudes of young men and young women who should come to prepare themselves- for their lifetwork. We are now in the midst of this brick and mortar age. Our campus, disfigured by the building operations, is scarcely a thing of beauty. No fabric, While yet on the loom, is more than a prophecy. Under the skilful hand of the weaver the discordant materials at length take their proper place. The Syracuse of tomorrow' will be far different from the Syracuse of today. The most cheering feature with regard to its future, is the manner in which the city and sur- e rounding territory have adopted the institution. There is no town. and gown. The growth of the city and that of the uni- versity will be one. To the city, the expansion of the university is its greatest asset, while to the university, the increasing re- sources of the city give promise that its own increasing necessi- ties will be met.
