My dear Alumni and Alumnae: Dreams do come true. Sometimes we grow skeptical because of the delay of their fulfillment. Almost over a half century, our predecessors in the administration and on the staff of the University have planned, prayed, and dreamed of a Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Building, of an adequate Science Build­ ing, of modernizing the older buildings and above all of seeing the University accepted by the people of Dayton as their university with an implied mandate to the University to become an integral part of the community and to share in its corporate life. Heirs to this rich heritage of the past, the present administration, staff, and students are witnessing the realization of these dreams. In one single endeavor, the greatest and the most far-reaching in the annals of the University-the recent public campaign for funds for the development program-these dreams are being written into the history of the University as actual facts. The administration of the University wishes humbly to ac­ knowledge the work of those who have waved the magic wand. The University owes a debt of deepest gratitude to the Associate Board of Lay Trustees-all outstanding civic and industrial leaders of the City of Dayton-for their grasp of the problems of the University, their sense of vision and long-range planning, and their determination to meet the demands of higher education in this area. The University is likewise deeply grateful to the many industries, business and foundations, large and small; to the groups and individuals among the people of Dayton, our local and out-of-town alumni ;;nd alumnae for their generous contributions. The University has gained not only the material means for the construction of two buildings but something of even greater value-an expression of good will, understanding, sympathy, confidence, and commendation. Such an expression of community concern for the University inspires its administration and staff to re-dedicate themselves to the ideals of higher education with a view toward being of greater service to the youth of this area and of the entire nation. This determination to meet the challenge of the future forces us to evaluate our past dreams and to plan in accordance with new dreams for the future-a larger, better physically equipped and comprehensively aca­ demically and professionally staffed University-not for the sake of being big but of being of greater service to the community. Yes, dreams do come true. We shall continue to dream because we know that you will make our dreams come true. Sincerely yours, ~~~~---. fo cL..L4!. ~ V. Rev. Andrew L. Seebold, S.M., Ph.D. President ••• UNDER CONSTRUCTION

As the ALUMNUS was going to press early in August, the "top" of the campus was changing rapidly. Construction workers were hard at work and the beginnings of Wohlleben Hall were taking shape. Concrete footers for the building had been poured and it was being predicted that within a month the walls would begin to rise. The picture above gives an overall view of the construc­ tion work, looking east from Stewart Street with the Me­ chanical Engineering Laboratory in the background. Erection of the building is in good hands-those of an alumnus. Kenneth Smith, '45, vice president and chief en­ gineer of the B. G. Danis Co., is shown at right looking over plans for the building. And while he's not visible, one of the workers down in the excavation helping to pour the concrete is UD student Jerry Faust. "Doc" Wohlleben is shown at lower right turning the first spadeful of earth at groundbreaking ceremonies in June as three executives of the fund campaign look on. Left to right, proudly watching "Doc", are Samuel Finn, president of the associate board of lay trustees; H. W. (Whitey) Gillaugh, general chairman of the campaign, and E. Bartlett Brooks, campaign public information chairman. Parking space in the student lot taken over by the build­ ing is being more than amply replaced with a large new lot just beyond the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, ad­ jacent to the Woodland Cemetery property. With work proceeding according to schedule, Wohlleben Hall is expected to be completed by next September. Ground­ breaking date for the Science Bldg. will be announced later. It's This is the official call to Homecoming, 1956! UD grads from all over the country are being invited to return to the hilltop Oct. 20 to relive old times, to meet with their \)~\VERSJTy classmates and other friends for an excit­ ing day on the campus. 1Qof46 Again this year, in a continued effort to make this annual celebration bigger DAYTON and better, a gala program has been ar­ ranged by Bro. Elmer Lackner, alumni di­ rector, Alumni Secretary Mary Shay, and the numerous homecoming committees. Last year, well over 500 alumni and their families were on hand for at least part of the festivities. Six hundred or more are expected this year. 1946 Here are a few of the features which are set for the October date: Grads will gather in the cafeteria in the morning for coffee and doughnuts to get the day started. A little later, toward noon, the annual parade through down­ town Dayton with its colorful floats built by the students-the entire parade is a student production, one which must surely make the "old grads" proud of the alma mater's present student body-will be an important event not to miss. Following lunch, the traditional home­ coming football game will get under way in the stadium. This year's rival will be power-packed North Carolina State-a game which should provide a lot of thrills for alumni and a lot of work for Coach Bud Kerr's gridders. Kick-off is set for 2:15p.m. Crowning of the homecoming queen by Father Seebold will take place at halftime along with the precision performance of 1906 Maurie Reichard's band, drum majors and 1931 majorette, the Marching Coeds and Flyer­ ettes. (If you haven't seen those Flyer­ ettes, you have a treat in store.) Highlight of the evening, as far as reminiscing and good fellowship are con­ cerned, will be the President's Reception in the fieldhouse and the accompanying banquet with the annual meeting of the alumni association. Following the banquet, at which you have an assurance that all speeches­ actually very few-will be as brief as possible, a social hour will continue until midnight. The weekend will come to a close Sun­ day morning with a Memorial Mass in the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception for deceased alumni, particularly those who have departed this life in the past year. At this year's homecoming, special rec­ ognition will be given the classes of 1906 (the golden jubilee class) ; 1931, the silver jubilarians; 1946, celebrating its tenth an­ niversary; and all the five-year classes.

Prldke At CYO l•stllatlen In an effort to pack as much football as possible into the period of practice time available before Dayton's opener with Cincinnati, September 22, Coach Bud Kerr and his Flyers deserted the campus for a "private" camp. Through arrangements with Fr. Richard Dodd, director of youth activities in the Columbus diocese, the Flyers took over St. Joseph's camp at Lockbourne, Ohio. The CYO camp near Columbus is used for youngsters during the summer. The Flyers were to spend thirteen days at the camp returning to the campus Sept. 14. Among other advantages at the camp, the Flyers will also enjoy a privacy for operation not attainable on Dayton's wide­ open practice field.
