Research Science continues to be the growing frontier of society. The greater man ' s knowledge be- comes, the more he needs to improve himself and the world he lives in by study and re- search. At West Virginia University research pro- jects of many types are progressing to help penetrate these frontiers. Projects in agricul- ture, biological sciences, engineering, chemis- try, physics, and astronomy are but a few of many such types of research sponsored by the University. This is the growth of our nation in striving for advancement. It is another way of making a better world and a better West Virginia University.

Development The growth of a university is seen in its attempts to better its facihties to benefit both students and faculty. Physical improvement is coupled with the idea that with progress will come a better university. The ideal behind the development of West Virginia University is that with constant ef- forts toward perfection the high standards strived for will be attained. With the addition of the new Medical Center, Arnold Hall and the addition to the Men ' s Dormitory we see part of this development in progress.
