Long in need of more and better classroom facilities, the University of Wis-eouson-Milwaukee is now making dramatic progress toward meeting the needs which have arisen out of the tremendous increase in enrollment during the six years that the school has been a part of the University of Wisconsin. In the years to come, the demands will become even more pressing, and we shall see still more rapid growth and expansion. In fact, UW President, Fred H. Harrington, predicts that in the very near future UW-M will have as many students as the Madison campus. Since Annexes D and E and the Main Building alone were unable to provide adequate classroom space, Garland and Pearse Halls were purchased from Milwaukee Downer Seminary as one step in the effort to help accomodate the expanding student body. Built a number of years ago and styled along the lines of English manor houses with high-pitched roofs and dark wood trimmings, they were remodeled for UW-M purposes. Pearse And Garland Halls Help Two recent additions to the UW-M campus are Pearse and Garland Halls, available for University uae in September, 1961.
