University of Wisconsin Milwaukee - Ivy Yearbook (Milwaukee, WI)

CAMPUS VIEWS The first volume of Ivy was a record of change; the second of progress. This third volume is also a record of progress, progress in a particular area of university life, progress dependent entirely upon the student body. This is a record of the birth and growth of a new school spirit. When Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee, and the University Extension Division in Milwaukee were merged to form this university three years ago, the student lx dy consisted of two camps, each a stranger to the other and neither making much effort to know the other. Last year, efforts to create a feeling of unity lx -tween the Downtown and Kenwood campuses were followed by complaints about student apathy. This year, the feeling of separateness between the two campuses having disappeared, there was evidence of a new and strong school spirit not seen since the merger.
