In Memoriam Superintendent of the West Central School of Agriculture from l9l7 to l938. In memory of Mr. Paul E. Miller whose death occurred on l Thursday, October Qi, l954. L As stood the sturdy elm among its peers ip Along West Central's campus square, L Not yet mature for cutting ' Though well along in years, i Its green boughs reaching toward the stars ' As if it felt the urge to grow l That it might fill a greater spot, ' So this man remained, friend of the student, Wise counselor to know. But sudden squall has laid this giant low: Now toward the earth its massive trunk will bend, The tree that weathered many a gust, Pride of our campus and our friend. - T. S. Long - Q 7 l 1 4

IF' The year 1954-55 will be a memorable one for the West Central School ot Agriculture. It will mark the completion ot the new Home Economics building tor which the Minnesota Legislature in T953 appro- priated a quarter of a million dollars. The Board of Regents on June I3 authorized the employment of Bernard J. Hein at Albert Lea as the architect of this proiect. Temporary quarters tor classes were established in the basement of the Girls' Dormitory and Ag Hall. The equipment was moved out during the last days ot March l954 in preparation tor the next school year. The old building soon disappeared and work on the new commenced in May. This struc- ture will be fully completed and the laboratories equipped and furnished by the fall of 1955. Planned as a laboratory for modern homemaking, the facilities will include unit kitchens, laundry, living-dining area, child-care area, art and home furnishing workshop, clothing construction and grooming area, reference center and lecture rooms. May the girls who will participate in the many activities that this department will undertake in its new home have experiences that will prepare them for gracious, wholesome family living.
