I HE sound of the pneumatic hammer was almost as much a part of our lives as the clang of the assembly bell. We witnessed a tremendous amount of change in the physical plant. The wing of the hospital fell before the blows of the wreckers to give way to new barracks. The old Riding Hall underwent a metamorphosis and emerged resplend- ent as Thayer Hall. The East Academic Building became the Hilton. A road was painfully hewn from the rock behind 720. Lee Hall opened its doors as a new dragging facility. Projects of all sizes were initiated, and still others were planned. The Superintendent ' s House was renovated. The Plain was plowed up to permit the installation of a sprinkling system. Some careful calculations were rendered void as filling along the shore of Lusk Reservoir pushed its capacity below 92.2 million gallons. West Point acquired a new Catholic Chapel. Yet there is much of the old with us still. The 3rd division barracks are much as they were in 1851 when they were built. The library, the East Academic Building, Grant Hall, and many other structures remain landmarks that recall for us our roots in the past. Perhaps the future will see some of these, too, altered. But although we know that this must be so, we will see the transformation with regrets; and the sight of the old halls will ever strike a nostalgic note.
