The Fairmount building was erected in 1887 and unoccupied until 1892 when it was opened as Fairmount Institute. Later, under the charter of Fairmount College, further additions were made to the campus. When the school became the Municipal University of Wichita in 1926 there were four main buildings: Fiske Hall. men's dormitoryg Morrison library. now the art buildingg Henrion gymg and the college building itself. Fairmount Hall was destroyed by fire in 1929. Several buildings have been added since municipal affiliation. Science Building was constructed in 1928, the Commons Building in 1936 and the Administration Building in 1930. Newest buildings on the campus are the Aeronautics Building, and the new Morrison Library. Construction of Veterans Field, now underway, and plans for a new music building, will enlarge campus facilities and increase total evaluation to two and one-half million dollars.

HE CLASS OF 1946 entered upon a year which saw victory in a global war, and establishment of an organization to preserve world peace. That long-anticipated post-war era has arrived. Those days when the boys were to come marching home are here, and the boys did come-from all corners of the world-to complete their work and some to be graduated with this class. For some these diplomas are a bit belated, but the spirit which sent the boys abroad to fight, brought them back as men, determined to complete work they realize, now, more than ever, is essential to insure that peace for which they fought. The class of 1946, the fiftieth class to be graduated from this school, can look forward to much now that the war is over-a long- looked-for peace, and an opportunity to take that place in the world for which they have prepared.
