5 fi Regal beauty hidden in campus As the times change Pollock gardens remain as a stabilizing influence. In the rush of kaleidoscopic collcfje life few ])eopie tiave time to appreciate the beauty of the Pollock (jardens. This part of the campus is seldom noticed by the student body. Its structural enchantment and antique symmetry remain untouched by the constant chaufjes surrounding it. Each year it is brought alive for a brief moment in tlie May Day festivities, when the campus comes surging down upon it. But within the hour all is still again and forgotten. The solemnity is maintained for anotlier year. The sanctuary of the sunken garden and shelter of antiquated arches remain as a retreat for the scholar to create, correlate and contemplate the ideas that have changed and will change the world. Only the perceptive can appreciate the significance of the garden, the first step in utilizing its reflect- iveness as insight into the future. Only then does Pollock garden fulfill and justify its existence.

Main Building: A symbol of stability Regardless of how much tlie rest of the campus changes, Old Main remains an immobile factor. Where Main now stands once stood the John Wick man- sion. The mansion was complete with stained glass windows giving the original college home a cathedral- like air. As the home was once a cultural center alive with parties, balls and the .soft swish of bustles on wind- ing staircases, it was stated in the dedication of our present building that it was also to be an oasis of culture. As the palatial home fell to the axe-of-time, a new building took its place. It is hard to think of Main as new today. During a busy school day in which the student is forced to climb to the fourth floor for a class in a tower room, he is often prone to forget and fails to appreciate its heritage. In our future expansion plans. Main will remain stable as a symbol of the un- changing aspect of Youngstown University. In the many years ahead the parade of students and faculty members will not cease to flow through Main ' s cathedral-like doors. Each, who passes through will affect and be effected ' and so it is, Main stands tall and regal leaving its mark on all who know it.
