The most Important single factor in a modern liberal education is the education which students receive from one another. JAMES B. CONANT, President Harvard University With this philosophy in mind, students, faculty, and alumni have worked for more than thirty years to give the Associated Stu- dents of the University of Washington their living room on campus. The year 1952 has seen the completion of the Husky Union Building or HUB as it is known by all. With the addition of 12 bowling alleys, pool, billiards, and ping pong facilities, a ballroom, barber shop, coffee shop, bring-your-own-lunch room, and a post ofFice this year, the HUB offers a complete program of activities with an interest for every student. The sun-deck with a view of Mt. Rainier and Laite Washington is a good place to go to dance or drink cokes. Modernistic meeting rooms upstairs are equipped with kitchenettes and some can be divided in two by means of folding doors. The main lounge on the first floor is a comfortable center of student dis- cussions and informal meetings.

The longer one is away fronn the University of Washington the nnore one feels a part of it. It ' s sort of a home plate. Right now you stu- dents are at bat, sizing up the field, waiting for the right pitch that ' s going to mean success for you and your team. But once you ' ve connected, once you ' ve gotten that diploma you ' ve trained for long and hard, you don ' t stop running. You can ' t afford to. The young fellow who graduates today but stops learning tomorrow is uneducated the day after. Tomorrow ' s problems require new answers and renewed spiritual strength, and the man who comes up with the right answers is the man who regards his college educa- tion as a starting point rather than a finish. You students are in an enviable position. You have the tradition and compiled knowledge of a great University behind you. You have the driving force of opportunity to make this world a better place to live in behind you, pushing you, challenging you. You have the people of the state behind you, too, for we know that within you lie the latent, potent ideas that are able to conquer the distorted ideas of those who would destroy our freedom. It may be years from now when you ' re coming into home stretch, straining for the plate, that you begin to realize fully how important it was you were wide awake when you stood at bat. You ' ll realize another thing, too. Education gave you the fundamentals of the game, but it took spiritual guidance to play it square. Grantland Rice put it this way: For when the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name. He marks — not that you won or lost — but how you played the game. 12
