gained national recognition in all the major sports, and are consistently in the limelight. When Curley Byrd began his job, there were practically no facilities for athletics, much less teams of a high caliber. However, at the present time, Maryland has an athletic layout that stands on an equal basis with the best in the South and compares favorably with most of the athletic systems and teams in the country. Maryland grew slowly, following the fire in 1912, at which time there were only 130 students enrolled. However, each advanced step in its status brought response along all lines, until now, there are more than 1,700 en- rolled at College Park, and more than 1,600 in the Baltimore branch of the University. Naturally, an increase in facilities had to be made to keep step with the great growth of the student body. Therefore, an extensive building program was planned. Among the latest buildings at College Park is the new library. This beautiful edifice, opened in the Spring of 1931, also houses the adminis- trative offices. During the present year, a new horticultural building was opened; a new section was added to the engineering building, and extensive repairs made on the old structure. Great improvements have also been made at the University for the women students. This year a new women ' s dormitory, Margaret Brent Hall, was opened to accommodate approximately 150 coeds in the most modern and com- fortable living conditions. A new women ' s field house was erected to provide better athletic facilities for the coeds. More room was provided for recreational purposes with the dedication of the Ritchie Coliseum in January of 1932. This handsome and spacious building, which seats more than 4,000 at games and 6,000 when used as an auditorium, is one of the largest structures of its type in the South, and one of the most complete buildings of its kind in the country. The Baltimore schools of the University, like the ones at College Park, have had greatly increased facilities. A splendid new law building was opened last Fall, and a dentistry and pharmacy building was only recently put into use. To further the building program, one of the most modern equipped hospitals, costing $2,000,000, will be erected in about a year. Very elaborate plans have been made for the erection of more buildings at College Park. At the present time, work is being done on the entrance to the grounds, new gate posts and a wall are being erected, with a beautiful walk running along the highway. During this summer, construction is to be started on another women ' s dormitory, which is to be completed by September. Many other improvements are being made on the grounds, and in the near future, the Maryland campus will be one of the prettiest in this section of the country. Tu- ' enty-three
