Tradition plays an important role in the life of a university, not only in the academic community itself, with its ceremony and sense of continuity with the past, but also in the realm of student activity, where class days, serenades and elections perpetuate themselves from year to year with the unchallenged right to bei' accorded to traditions. Landmarks such as Denny Hall, pictured at left, have also become part of University tradition, recognized as familiar faces by the returning alum, and observed with casual affection by the student. And yet the University is not primarily a place 'gsteeped in tradition, but a place of growth and movement. During this year prior to its centennial the University of Wasliington experienced the highest enrollment in its history. New and modernistic structures such as the General Engineering Building, pictured at right, took their place on the campus scene as part of a huge new building program. Significant achievements by academic departments and by individual faculty members were recorded. The year 1960, in fact, found Washington ranked as one of the nation's great state universities. Yes, our University is moving, moving in the direction of progress and building and growth-Direction 730.
