R u ssell W o o lley ’41 Associate Editor A rth u r W . R ey nolds ’48 n our cover this month is what we think to be an unusual view Class Notes Editor M argaret M. M o l liso n ’50 Oof a somewhat typical scene on our campus just now, showing GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION the new Educational Building in progress. The growth of the Officers physical plant is evident elsewhere on the campus, but through a window in South Stevens Hall there is now a steel structure on the President D r . G eorge F. D o w ’27 1st Vice President A lvin S. M cN e il l y ’44 horizon, as one faces East. What it may mean to Dr. John R. Crawford, whose silhouette appears on the right, as he stares at 2nd Vice President Mrs. Lucy F. Sheive ’27 the new horizon, is an interesting speculation. Clerk James A. Harmon ’40 Treasurer Harry T. Treworgy ’49 Doctor Crawford is Professor of Education and Director of Executive Director T. Russell Woolley ’41 the Bureau of Educational Research and Service. In his 30 years of Ass’t Exec. Director Margaret M. Mollison ’50 teaching and research for the University of Maine, he has seen many changes occur. For instance, he has seen the area of pro- Alumni Trustees fesional training in education expand from a few classes in the Raymond H. Fogler '15 subject, to the establishment of a School of Education and in Mrs. Rena C. Bowles ’21 February 1958 to a College of Education.

Brown ’30 tion everywhere rising that the small size of a physical plant is Henry T. Carey ’22 first noted when it is already over-crowded. Then, as is the case Clifton E. Chandler '13 with this construction at the University, the building has to be built, Arthur T. Forrestall ’33 behind the need, has to catch up as it were, rather than to fill up John F. Grant ’48 after it is provided. Wise provision was made by the voters of M. Eleanor Jackson ’20 Maine a year ago to secure necessary bond issuance authority. Mrs. Emilie K. Josselyn ’21 Good provision by the people should come again, can be made Parker F. Leonard ’50 before desperate steps have to be taken— to guarantee that the Alfred B. Lingley ’20 University’s growing population will be met with facilities of Clifford G. Mclntire ’30 sufficient quality and size. RoBert B. McLeary ’42 The splendid new addition, its steel structure seen on our RoBert W. Nelson ’45 cover, will be a corner of a natural quadrangle formed by con AlBert S. Noyes ’24 templated extensions of North and South Stevens Hall Wings, Carlton B. Payson ’41 with East Annex (not yet a permanent building) at the Northeast George A. Potter ’20 corner. Here will be the seat of training for future teachers in Mrs. BarBara L. Raymond ’37 the crowded classrooms of Maine’s and America’s schools. Here Mrs. Winona C. Sawyer ’43 will be taught History and Mathematics, and English and the RoBert P. Schoppe ’38 other specialties of teachers. No doubt Professor Crawford sees Ermo H. Scott ’31 the future as the past, not with alarm, but with hope in his heart. Stan wood R. Searles ’34 Edward C. Sherry ’38 Beyond the Education Building, as located on a sketch of the Thomas N. Weeks T6 (Law) future campus, a needed auditorium will be built. Perhaps your eyes can locate it between the Education Building and the trees. Its future requires only the assurance of your gifts, the gifts of alumni, friends and this community of faculty and its youthful TABLE OF CONTENTS men and women. The mountains of goodwill arising from the groups already represented by donors to the Hauck Auditorium Alumni Sons and Daughters 6 fund assure a building so much needed. Two-thirds of a million dollars already given will grow to a million and beyond, because Legislators To Study at University 7 alumni support this addition, have initiated, have promised it to Moosehead Alumni 8 the University. No one will want the lack of his gift to suppress the growth or delay the building. It is the time for all friends and Alumni Names 10 capable alumni to step alongside with a generous contribution, Black Bear Awards 11 which will bring the auditorium out of the shadows and into full view. Now is the time to make the silhouette take on its detailed Homecoming 12-13 features, to look ahead, instead of trying only to catch up. The Local Associations 14 need for the auditorium is already more than evident; the young folks who will use it are now here; this facility for better quality Athletics 15 education is wanted at this moment. The time for your gift to the Hauck Auditorium is now.
