"THE HOUSE THAT DREAMS BUILT" Spacious dining hail of the new Student Union-Campus Inn is viewed by Whittier College stu- dents (left to right) Ted Staples, Sandy Gordon, and Fran Preece.

The $650,000 structure, being built on the southwest corner of the campus facing Painter Ave- nue, will house a snack bar, book store, rumpus room, student of- fices and lounge, and several small dining rooms, in addition to the large dining room.

Dear Alumnus:

A new year of college life and alumni work is upon us and again we face the whirl of Homecoming activi- TOM WOOD, '50 ties. You have received our letter detailing the events Alumni Association President of Homecoming Week and we cordially invite your full participation.

This may well be the propitious time to invite, also, your consideration of the purposes of your Alumni Board and the publications of this Associa- tion. We are not alone concerned with putting out high-class, camouflaged fund raising brochures; printing the "Old Acquaintances"; or half-page pictures of alumni sitting around banquet tables with the college banner waving merrily in the background, although we will do these things.

We want to tell the story of the institution we serve, its projects, ap- pointments, and problems. We want you to understand the problems, what's being done about them, and to answer the eternal "Why?". We want to be partners, junior partners perhaps, but partners serving as ed- ucational arms of the academic community, reaching out to carry forward as we can the basic function of Whittier College: Education.

We cannot, of course, do as much, or as well as the administrative staff of the school, but we refuse to allow this limitation to affect our pur- pose or the effort we expend. We must take ourselves more seriously, broadening the view of our role, adding dignity and importance to our jobs, and opening our eyes to our tremendous potential as an Alumni Board serving a powerful Association.

Will you accept our invitation, then, to service in the new year of 1957-1958?

Sincerely, Tom Wood, '50 President, Whittier College Alumni Association

Helen Tompkins, '60, and Mike Armer, '59, load their duffle bags. A warm, friendly student-faculty relationship is considered by Whittier College to be one of its most valuable assets. Each Fall for the past six years, Whittier Col- lege student leaders and faculty have held a two day retreat at some distant, quiet location to dis- cuss mutual problems and become better acquaint- ed. This year, the conference was held at the Pres- byterian Conference Grounds in Pacific Palisades. The goal of the 1957 meeting was to find ways of strengthening the academic program and atmos- phere on the Whittier College Campus. 4.

The conference provided Dr. Brooks with many opportunities for just chatting informally with students. Hikes through the woods, moonlight sing sessions, volleyball games, mealtime associations, and bull sessions, have made him feel he has come to know Whittier College students much better. Dr. Brooks believes that nowhere in the country would he find a higher caliber, more dedicated student than those he met at the conference. Mrs. Brooks, too, has come to know many of the students rather closely. She now feels a little more understanding when her husband is up late 6.
