Fw-K N W X Sffkliasil TT ' NTVICN O the people of Wichita who have made possible the erection and de- velopment of the University of Wichita, the 1938 PARNASSUS is dedicated. Through tl1e unfailing efforts of certain individuals for an institution of higher learning in Wichita the present Municipal University of Wichita was founded. Since the founding of the present University in 1926 both the size of the enrollment and the number of buildings have been constantly increasing. The first graduating class of the University in 1927 numbered forty-eight. This year's seniors number two hundred and sixteen men and women. New buildings erected since the in- corporation of Fairmount College with the new Municipal University include the Administration Building, Science Build- ing, and the Commons and Auditorium. Modernization of the Art Building and the Menis Gymnasium has also been ac- complished. Completed since 1926 has been the paving of the roads on the cam- pus. Landscaping of the entire campus has been started. At the present time a number of pro- posals for new buildings on the campus are Linder way. Additions to the Univer- sity now being sought are a new section to the football stadium, a new library, and new dormitories for men and cottages for women students. To demonstrate tl1e gratitude of the students of the University, the 1938 PAR- NASSUS is dedicated to the People of the City of Wichita. For this reason various scenes of Wichita have been included in the opening section of the PARNASSUS.
