FOREWORD Till ninetieth graduating class of Wittenberg Col- lege salutes a number of things, among theni Reci- tation Hall, now beginning its fifty-first year as an academic building. In 1884, fifty years ago. Recitation Ilall was built» the second building on the campus. Changes have been rapid and frequent since then. Only ten years before, the first 'woman was admitted to study in this institution- Co-education is an integral part of the college now, women serving as instructors, administrators, and students. Athletics at Wittenberg have produced a national reputation for this Lutheran college. Xot to be forgotten is this year's golf team, which bids fair to take the state intercollegiate championship. Xor must be forgotten the unbeaten football teams, the great basketball teams that have flourished since the cornerstone of Recitation Ilall was laid. Academically, numerically, physically, Wittenberg College has grown in the last half-century. There seems to be a leaning toward expansion in all lines. Still a liberal arts college, Wittenberg's expansion is in the right line. The tower on top of Recitation leans -who has said that it hasn't! But its leaning in the right direction. Don't forget that.
