The noise of construction does, at times, become overwhelming; for professors, if can be unendurable. Warning signs of de- fours and trenches sprinkle the campus. Working men are a familiar sight as we as an integral part of university life. The University of Miami is still complet- ing the process of development. A dorm- itory to house girls and a library to house books are the result of that process. 18

I Activities Atomic energy is generated in the stands as University of Miami students congregate en masse to cheer their teams to victory. The spirit of youth, of loyalty, and of pride is caught up in a whirlwind of excitement as the screaming crowds sing songs of expectation. Giving back yell for yell, they prod the team to rise and fight to win. It is a mass of action and activity which sprouts out in wonderful exuberance. For the man on the field, a cheering crowd is magic for inciting the will to win. And for the man sitting in the crowded stands, a feeling of participation in campus activities is stimulated. A col- lege with a winning team is meaningless unless it is supported by a mob of students making a bubbling noise. But a pep rally is not always sportive; at times it may be seri- ous, varying from a fiery and holiday-rejoicing spirit to a calm- ness and serenity of mood, for when a team loses today, it must be hurried away by excitement to win tomorrow. This is the active spirit of the UM campus hundreds meeting and mingling with one purpose, leaping cheerleaders, screaming mobs, and at the end, glorious success and utter exhaustion. MA 20
