FOREWORD During the time that the class of 1951 has been at the University we have seen considerable growth in the physi- cal plant. The campus has been torn up a good part of the time with new buildings being constructed on all parts of the campus. The progress of the building program has been paralled by acceleration and improvement in all phases of student life. It is our hope that this book will serve to recall the progress we have made as a school and as indivi duals during our time at the University of Wash- ington. ' - m i Ml Housing the medical and dental schools is the new Health Sciences Building, pictured above. The ex- terior of the building, one of the most modern on the campus, only partially reveals Its vastness. To appreciate it fully requires a trip through the maze of halls, and a look Into the numerous class rooms, offices, auditoriums, laboratories, etc. A 500-bed hospital is yet to be added at the east end of the building. Augmenting the scientific research equipment of the University Is the cyclotron, used in the field of nuclear energy. This equipment Is partially housed in the building shown at right, which is located west of Stadium Way below the Women ' s Residence Halls.

Loca+ed at the northwest end of the main Quad are the Art and Music Buildings. The exteriors of both are much in the style of the other buildings of the Quad, but the Interiors are quite modern, ful- filling the requirements of the art and music students and offering a little more in comfort and beauty. Just to the east of the Quad Is Thomson Hall, one of the new class room buildings on the campus. This was one of the first buildings completed d-jring the fojr years the class of 1951 has baen on the campus. Increasing the capacity of the Washington Stadium to 55,000 is the new addition at right. From any angle this addition presents a striking picture, dwarfing every- thing in the vicinity. Eventually there will be a similar addition on the north side of the stadium for the students section. Providing additional class rooms and laboratories for the Engineer- ing students is More Hall, across the road from the Electrical Engi- neering Building. One of the most recently completed buildings, having been formally opened during the first quarter of this school year, is the new Fisheries Building. It is located south of the Health Sciences Building on Lake Union.
