This year in the classrooms and oflice, the personnel of the Navy school have taken up quarters and have re- ceived priority privileges in the use of the equip- ment and the building itself. Nevertheless, this is but a temporary thing. Memories that give promise Fourteen swf of coming alive again remain in every part of the building, memories of Big Red Teams fight- ing for their school, crowds of students enthusi- astically cheering them on, boys proudly wearing big red HV is on their sweaters. All these belong to Brown Gymnasium and none of them will ever cease to be a part of it. The Gymnasium, as it now appears, was built in 1928 to replace the former building fbelowj, which also bore the name of Brown, and stood on the location of the old tennis courts south of the heating plant. Both buildings were named in honor of Mr. A. D. Brown, who contributed very generously to the construction of the first one.

1 Marston Hall The home of the sciences, Marston Hall rises from the southern slope of the Hill with its well- equipped laboratories and spacious lecture rooms. Here since its construction in 1914, students have learned the mysteries of mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, laws of the old scholars have been re-proved, theorems have been illustrated again and again. Since Ianuary, 1943, however, Marston Hall has been headquarters for the classes of the Naval Flight Preparatory School and all the classrooms have been given over to the V-5 cadets. Only the laboratories and a few ollfices have been retained by the college itself, while the science classes have been transferred to Iewell Hall for the duration of the present emerg- ency. When the construction of the building was pending, the 1910 Tczrler carried an architect's drawing of the proposed edifice. This drawing has been reproduced below, showing several vari- ations from the building which was finally erected in 1914, largely with the financial help of E.

Along these newly painted corridors, khaki now replaces the civilian dress, the personnel of the teaching staff has been, to a great extent, included in the new regime together with other civilian instructors and commissioned officers of the United States Navy. Nevertheless, there are on all sides remind- ers of the past years, promises of the future, when Marston shall no longer find it necessary to inter- pret science to a warring world, but can again teach young men and women its constructive uses and send them out to build a new world of peace and scientific marvels in which many more gene- rations of students may live and study. On the walls of the first floor there remain the pictures of eminent scientists, leaders in the various fields, examples for aspiring youth. The museum also, with its permanent collections, in addition to sev- eral valuable ones lent by college friends, is still open on the third floor to make more graphic the study of the strange and unusual as well as the ordinary. f - - -M ' 27 I D I Elf ur ' E l1iTKllXXHXXlUXli 0 . y if , 3, rp?-1-I 3' L -xg li , 'F'.IllllEe--I IJ DID llil qf-'5. . -A. . , -5:i- - Y Y V.

? f gf, 1' f 1 lrt of fight- thusi- zaring melong l ever built zlowj, stood ith of red in l very e. New E61 Retaining the honored name of Ely from its predecessor, New Ely was built as a boys' dormi- tory in IQII to afford more adequate accommo- dations for the students of William Iewell, who were, at that time, all boys. It was a place to call home during the school year, where the boys spent much of their time, sleeping, eating, studying, and making friends. Rivalry among the residents of the different Hoors, bull sessions,', big parties, loud masculine voices down the halls, were all a part of the year that each boy remembered after- ward with a pang of regret that he was no longer a part of it. In December, I942, however, the occupants of New Ely were asked to leave the dormitory and find rooms in town in order that the Naval cadets might have living quarters. So New Ely became a ship,' and on its decks', uniformed men walked and talked, slept and studied. Changes, neverthe- less, no matter how large, can never quite remove from a building its history, its recollections of by- gone days and so it is with New Ely, especially because her recollections are not all that is left to her, there is the certain knowledge that her boys will return again to pursue their liberal education, that the uniforms will be replaced by individual- istic civilian dress, that longer years of service to Iewell,s sons lie ahead of her than behind. With this assurance, the dormitory accepts the adopted sons of the campus, welcomes them because they remind her of her own, for whose homecoming she is waiting and preparing. 5 NX an 4 11,1-,dj ,pchlfpgf 5071611711017 ff 015 4011111101012 A..
