THE UNIVERSITY AT MID-CENTURY T HE new half century began at the University of Arkansas with planning for greater growth in the next few decades. President Lewis Web¬ ster Jones was in his third year as head man at the University, and was rapidly making plans for its continued growth. The transition year 1950 saw the University in its 77th year of operation. From its one-building beginning Arkansas ' s only University had grown to an investment of $8,000,000. Indications were that the Ozarkian school would grow as much in the next half-century as it had in the last. Although the main campus of the University remained in Fayetteville, its influence had far exceeded those boundaries. The long arms of the University extended over the state as exten¬ sion centers were established at Little Rock, Har¬ rison, and El Dorado.

Fresh high school graduates were replacing vet¬ erans, and Agriculture and Education students were replacing Engineering an d Business stu¬ dents. Total enrollment, however, was little re¬ duced. Blue Key, honorary fraternity, carried on a campaign to keep enrollment high. It publi¬ cized the University by sending student speakers over the state, showing a color movie of the campus, and sending out records of school songs. If enrollment remained high, provision would have to be made for living accommodations. Housing was not forgotten in plans for continued growth. The University agreed to finance con¬ struction of Greek houses under a new plan which brought three fraternity houses and a sorority house in one year. The plan, which was likely to attract other Greeks, provided that the Univer-
