THE SWIRL OF URBAN PROGRESS KEEPS US FOREVER CLOSE TO REALITY Along with the growing of the physical plant, the intermingling vine of culture has bloomed here and there to produce a beautiful flower for Richmond the City to see and enjoy.

The living legend of RPI is mirrored in the every day activities of the campus and the community.

Gatherings of students attest to the fact that though the setting around RPI is conventionally easygoing, the bub- bling spirit of humanity is forever in awareness. 12
