GROSSMANN HALL ... Stands in a Founder ' s Memory Erected early in the development of Wartburg College, Grossmann Hall stands in remembrance of a man whose endeavors bore fruit in the founding of the college of the Midwest. Pastor Grossmann, one of the enthusiastic promoters of early Wartburg, will long be remembered in the now modern four-story men ' s dorm. Complete with lounge and recreation facilities, Grossmann now houses near- ly 150 men.

A New Addition Luther Hall had a welcome addition this year when the new South Wing was completed. Facing Bremer Avenue, the imposing $200,000 structure is the newest building on campus. Dedication ceremonies were observed by a large crowd on Homecoming Sunday, Oct. 28. The modem classrooms received their first use with the beginning of the second semester. Enjoyed by both the student and instructor, the modem science laboratories, new furniture, wide halls, new library space and fluorescent lighting make education in the new addition a pleasure. Administrative offices are still located in the old part of Luther Hall, but the South Wing has taken the classroom pressure off other buildings. The days of classes in Old Main are passing! 11

WARTBURG HALL . . . Scene of Campus Attraction Wartburg Hall, which now provides a home for over one hundred coeds, was built in 1913 when the rented home annexes proved inadequate. The four-story structure houses a spacious lounge, a recreation room, the Den and college bookstore, as well as the apartment of Mrs. Rose LaBahn, house director.
