reword THE GROWTH of a university is a slow process; it is not often that an addition is made that students take notice of or pride in. Therefore, 1952-1953 is truly a banner year in the 114-yeor history of the University of Missouri. During the past nine months, five significant additions have been made or provided for, any one of which would mark 0 milestone in the progress of a school. THEY ARE the completion of one wing of the Memorial Student Union, the gift of the J. C. Penney guernsey herd, the licensing of o University-operoted commercial television station, the beginning of construction on a hospital for o four-yeor medical school, and the appropriation for an addition to Jesse for on Auditorium. From crisp leaves scattering the ground in fall, to the bureness of snow-covered Missouri land in winter and back to the lush greenness of spring, the Columns stand as daily thou- sands pass by. A sight familiar to all . . . the dome of Jesse watching over the campuses, and the Columns, reminders of Iong-ugo days at the University.
