Return ing Alumnus Of 1943 Notes Interesting Changes On Stroll Around Campus In Spring Of '63

By CHARLES H. TUCKER The Marshall alumnus returning to the campus after

an absence of a few years is in for a lot of surprises. Those of my class - 194i$ - who haven't been back since, will hardly know the place.

Expansion has been the theme at Marshall University for several years, and will be for many more to come.

The graduates of that mid-war year remembe.r Marshall as located primarily between 16th and 17th streets and Third and College avenues. The Music Building, Laboratory School, and Hodges and Laidley Halls were at the far eastern end of the campus, with wme expanses of ground between them and the Gymnasium, Library and Student Union. The space was used mostly for inttamural and athletic practice fields.

During Alumni Week this year, take a stroll eastward from the Library or old gymnasium. You will be amazed.

To your left is the magnificent Science Building con­structed in 1951 and dwarfing its neighboring Library and Music Building. Straight ahead will be Lucy Prichard Hall, a women's dormitory built in 1955, and immediately in front you'll notice workmen busy on another women's dormi­tory scheduled for completion in July of 1964.

Walk on past the University Dining Hall, which was opened about the time we 1943ers left Marshall, and you will see another of Marshall's attractions, the large, mod­ern Health and Physical Education Building. Surrounding it, and taking the rest of the block between 18th and 19th streets and Virginia and College avenues are expansive athletic fields.

As former residents of Laidley and Hodges halls will remember, that block once housed some rather run-down and old buildings. The expansion there is part of a master plan which will see Marshall eventually spread through the entire area to 20th Street.

Turn north. to Fifth Avenue and you will see a former supermarket which has housed some of the Engineering De­partment and which in the future will be the site for new buildings. The site also provides some additional, needed parking space.

Turn west on Fifth A venue a short distance and you will come to the new Residence Hall for men, just com­pleted a couple of years ago. It fronts on Fifth Avenue and helps give Marshall even more of an attractive facade on the busy thoroughfare. As you go past the Laboratory School Annex, you will be at another imposing new structure, the Student Christian Center, also completed in the early 1960s.

These are only part of the changes you'll see in the old school, and many more are in the making.

The State Legislature paved the way this year for con­struction of a huge eight-story classroom and office build­ing. Present plans call for it to be erected on the north­west campus near Old Main. The multi-million dollar fa-

2

dlity will permit many classes to be moved from Old Main and the Music Buildings and will provide the latest in equip­ment.

Provided at the same time were funds for a much­needed addition to James E. Morrow Library. Also in the future are a new Student Union building and more additions and modernization.

This is only a short word-tour of the campus. As you stroll about it, there will be much more to make you proud of Marshall and its growth.

If you have some time to spare, or on your way in or out of Huntington on U. S. Route 60 east, you'll want to take a look at Marshall's University Heights campus. It's just east of the city and contains 184 acres. It once housed the state's industrial school for colored girls and later a home for the aged and infirm. The Legislature two years ago decided the home was no longer needed and, with great foresight, gave the land to Marshall.

_There are many tentative plans for the ground, in­cludmg a research center estimated to cost $9 million. Its benefits to Marshall and the area aze practically limitless.

Thus far, two buildings on the extensive grounds are being converted to apartments for married students to re­place the post-war, temporary buildings of Donald Court.

Yes, growth has been the watchword at Marshall. Through the fine c.iirection of President Stewart H. Smith and his staff and faculty much more is in store. . Even though Marshall is well into its second century, 1t has ~en, and will be, a larger, better and more-influential school year by year.

Marshall Conducts Unique Study Under the direction of Dr. Howard Leonard Mills, Pro­

tessor of Botany, a group of four Marshall faculty members and three students spent 12 weeks last summer in the Florida Everglades, studying the effects of vegetation on the movement of battle troops, at the request of the u. s. Army.

According to Dr. Mills, the abortive attempt to invade Cuba might have ended differently if a study of vegetation had been made in Cuba's Pig's Bay area.

The assignment was to work on the development of a system for describing the earth's vegetation according to size and structure of plant growth.

Working with the U. S. Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station at Vicksburg, Mississippi, Marshall's seven scientists staged an invasion of their own, on 7,000 square miles of steaming swampy Everglades of Florida, testing and developing a system of description basically ini­tiated by Pierre Dansreau, a French scientist.

The Marshall Program for the project was accepted over the programs of other colleges and universities within a radius of three days' travel to the Everglades.

Once the collected data is processed and put in order, "What we have learned will be made available to the world," said Dr. Sam E. Clagg, Professor of Geography and Chairman of the Department,

Homecoming Will Be Nov. 9 Marshall University's 1963 Home­

coming will be on November 9. It was originally set for October 19 but due to scarcity of football opponents for that date, the November 9 date was chosen.

The later date offers an outstanding grid opponent in Mid-American Champs Bowling Green University.

At the same time the Homecoming Commission, representing the Student Government and the Alumni Association, is planning a "bigger and better" Home­coming Program.

HOW ABOUT FOUR TIMES IN A ROW? We have a good chance of aoing ove r the

previous year's record in this Fourth Annual Giving Year if iust a few more Alu mni will re­spond with their Annual Gifts before J une 30. This would be the fourth consecutive yea r of improvement.

By May 15, 1,360 Alumn i had part icipated for a total of $ 11 ,776.52. Last yea r's grand total wos $ 12,067 from 1,531 Alumn i. Conside ring the fact that the re are 15,000 Alumni on t he mail­ing list , a new re cord should be a cinch ! How about it? Have you ? Will you? ?

Beazleys Will Go To Quito, Ecuador

Garnet Fitzhugh Beazley, Jr., who will receive his Ph.D. degree in economics from the University of Pittsburgh this spring, will be sent to Ecuador to aid in the establishment of the University of Pittsburgh's co-operative project in the capitol city of Quito.

Change At Marshall Both the front and back cover

pictures for this issue of the Mar­shall Alumnus present scenes that are indicative of change. With the arrival of May, the trees in the vicinity of Northcott Hall are almost in full leaf, bringing forth a welcome attractive­ness after a long and bleak winter of severe cold. In Northcott Hall, well known to Marshall alumni for many years back, are classrooms for art, business, and home economics, and the offices of the education department.

Earlier in the spring, passing stu­dents and faculty members were at­tracted to the activity marking the driving of piling for the new women's dormitory. On t he right we see the Marshall High School building, and on the left, in the background, a small portion of Lucy Prichard Hall, which will soon lose its place as the newest women's dormitory on the campus.

If you are in the Huntington area this Summer you may have the oppor­tunity to attend the Marshall Speech De­partment productions of the comedy "Wedding Breakfast" on July 5 and 6 and "Hansel and Gretel" on July 12-13.
