message from the president To the Students of Tulane University: The school year 1951-52 has been one of splendid progress for the University. A new men ' s residence hall for freshmen students was opened in September of I 95 I , and plans are being studied for three additional ones. The Warren hlouse for women is being doubled, and will be ready for occupancy in September of 1952. hHutchinson Memorial Building is being enlarged. The research facilities not only in the Medical School but throughout the University are expanding rapidly. An Alumni HHouse located on Willow Street has been purchased. This home will make available adequate office space and a proper reception center for Tulane alumni. The great educational foundations have seen fit to award Tulane substantial grants for the improvement of teaching and research. Perhaps more significant than any other single achievement is the University ' s increase of its endowment fund. From private individuals, corporations, alumni, faculty, staff, and students, two million dollars were raised in the preliminary effort. Another million and a quarter to be matched by an equal sum from the General Education Board is the goal for 1952. The fine support which the University received from its students in this drive testified to the solid morale and sincere school spirit prevailing in the student body. I feel that we are living through a period of great development at Tulane University, and I am certain that future generations of Tulanians will applaud the considerable and significant contributions of the class of 1952. f uj-ui L arrollton ..J artL

New and exciting developments took place during 1951-52 in the Student Program. New dormitories for both men and women were completed, and plans are underway for more. A thoroughgoing Orientation Pro- gram brought together new students of both Tulane and Newcomb in a series of meetings, parties, and dances. Dr. John H. Stibbs was named Dean of Students by President Harris, with responsibility for supervision of personnel matters throughout the several colleges of the University. With the help and experience of Miss Anna Many, the Counselor to Women at Newcomb Col- lege, Dr. Stibbs is developing a staff of assistants who not only carry their share of the administrative load but also serve as approachable, personal friends to the stu- dents. This year special attention was given to the Foreign Student Program. The Division of Student Life has been very much concerned about the increase in knowledge, understanding, and good will which can come from close division of DR. JOHN H.
