II As the University has moved through varying degrees of prosperity, from a few buildings to an educational giant standing by the Monongahela, it takes upon its countenance the facets of a living pulse — its cadence echoing through the hills the great heart steadily beating. As the campus skyline broadens with the times, we are able to observe this growth, sometimes a part of us hazily glimpsed as our strides almost move hand in hand with its pace, sometimes more clearly seen from the safe distance that the years of post schola will afford us. From the groundbreaking of Martin Hall to the windswept sculptured edifice that now houses the Medical Science facilities, it has grown; haphazardly, leisurely, a moulding of tradition with brick, stone, ivy, and willing hearts.

tfie. jOM ol... TRADITION AND HERITAGE In the circle of the oldest campus edifices, poses tall against the sky a proud face in the epoch tradition of our University — stately Woodburn Hall. Alone it stands, amid victory and defeat, unwavering; re- calling to each of us a fervent academic quest. Constant, it remains a vigil over the spirit of academic Inquiry, and the press- ing search into greater achievements. But that tradition is more than just mar- bled temples wherein man can nurture his scholarly interests and ambitions and gather academic nutrition. Symbolically, it is the face of the Mountaineer — a stern visage, yet known to burst with uproarous approval In moments of glory. Its lifeline, though periodically replacing new blood as the old seeks new veins through gradu- ation, flows smoothly through a proud heart.
