the cnmpus Often called the University, campus buildings are ac- tually only the tangible evidence of its existence, the ware- houses of instruction and attainment, connected by the grass- erasing paths of the real college — the student body. But the brick and mortar are indispensible and a yearbook would not be complete without the setting which the familiar build- ings provide. The University ' s amoeba-like eastward growth from Old Main ' s acre plot in 1886 to the amount of acreage now under culturation is exemplified in its three periods of construction by the library, the gymnasium and the student union. The library belongs to the old campus where now the cotton- woods are ancient and the students pass through on their way downtown. The gymnasium is the guardian against the eastern move- ment, a reactionary who finally had to give in to Fraternity park and veteran housing. The Union introduced the modern era. Old Main, our sexagenarian patriarch, and the fetal Oil Shale present the faith of President Nelson, Dr. Downey, Dr. Hebard and the promise of President Humphrey and Joe Col- lege for a bigger and better . . .
