4 "Dear You: "Permit me to introduce myself even though it shouldn't be necessary because I'm one individual who has been around Marshall as long as Marshall has been itself. Yes, you've guessed it-i'm your Chief Justice himself. "I have the pleasure of being your guide for the next two hundred and twenty-eight pages. For the first time in all these years I have the opportunity of relating to you all of my adventures on this campus during the past year. "Believe me, I really have a lot in store for you, because things have certainly been jumping around this campus. There have been times when I thoroughly enjoyed myself or was excited, and yet there \,, have been those times when I was puzzled and even shocked. "Regardless of the results, my life here has been satisfactory, and I'm sure that I wouldn't trade it for any other life I know of. "Before we start on our journey through these pages of school adventure I want to remind you that I am a constant visitor to this historic institution of learning and that I see and hear everything that happens here. This is -the reason I am thankful for this opportunity to be able to relate to you these adventures as I saw them. So follow me ~nd I'll guarantee you the following pages will bring you as much enjoyment as they have brought me." Your Chief Justice Page Four

5 I Viewed The Buildings Old Main "This building, the oldest and largest on the campus, brings the fondest of memories, for it h a s been with me longest. It contains the administrative offices, the college bookstore and post office, many,, classrooms a n d faculty offices. N()tfiJC()ff Science Hall "I was present in 1915 when the present science building was completed and named in honor of a distinguished Huntingtonian, the late G. A. Northcott. Here I fascinate myself in the scientific world both in lectures and laboratories." Page Five

6 Shaw key Student Union "I could hardly get through the 'Union', as it is presently called, because of bridge players tucked away in corners here and there and dancers swinging about t h e floor. This building was named for a college professor, Dr. Morris P. Shawkey. It is quite new, having been built in '32. I often take in formal gatherings, college dances, and receptions in the Union', social center of the college." Morrow library "In 1930 I watched the erection of this fine building which w a s named in honor of a former college president. Here I do all my reading, both books and magazines, view exhibits in the art museum, and occasionally drop in on the Journalism Department and some of the history classes." Page Six

7 Engineering Building "A building that popped up between my frequent visits to the campus was the new Engineering building. Seems as if something new is constantly being added. This building contains various classes: including in particular: mechanical drawing, s u r v e y courses engineering and mathematics and science courses. Several of the student organization offices are located here also." Music fl(/1/ "Although not originally planned for college purposes, the Music Hall was remodeled and enlarged to provide a small auditorium for recitals, class rooms, p r a c t i c e rooms, and a bandroom. I have spent many a pleasant hour listening to the presentations of the future musicians.".t::~~:~!-::~::.,, \ ". : ~0'<"'!~.~:~:... :~ '- ;..,,, : ~.;..;~J-J~':.. : <... ~~ ;;\, ;.:.. ~ :.:~~ :. ~ :..

8 The Gymn(Jsium 'Activity-All kinds' Yes, that's typical of my visits to the gymnasium, which was completed in It has two swimming pools, three playing floors, a n d t w o lounges. I suppose I'm getting too old for these physical activities but I'll always enjoy watching the younger set participate in them." Jenkins L(JbfJr(JfDry S cnddi "Here I watch teachers of the future do their 'practice' teaching. I must confess that it doesn't appear to be practice because the children seem to enjoy school just like in any public school, well, perhaps more. In any case it's a splendid place to go for a visit." Page Eight

9 Here Most Of My Out-of-Town Students Stay... Hodges Hall 'Home of activity' is my definition of this residence of one hundred and seventy-eight Marshall men." Dining Hall "The dining hall is for the accomodation of the residents of the dormitories. It is located between Hodges and Laidley Halls and is well managed, I presume, by the healthy looks on the students' faces.'' ~ Laidley Hall "1937 marked a happy year in my life, for it was then that 150 more of my co-eds received this rcliabl~ college home." College Hall "Sixty-eight of my favorite girls, mostly freshmen, live in this, the oldest dormitory on the campus.".' Page Nine

10 I Visited All My Vet's Housing Units "On one of my many visits to spots associated to my favorite school, I made my rounds to the three veteran's housing units. The Allen Court camp (right) caused me a trip to the west end, where I found fa. cilities for SIXteen married veteran s and one hundred single men." ALLEN COURT DONALD COURT "I circled back to the southside of town two miles south of the campus and observed Donald Court (center) and it's sixtytwo units available for married veterans only. "On my return to the campus I strolled over.to Green Village (left) which is made,yp of thirty trailers, some of which aren't in use now." Page Ten GREEN VILLAGE

11 I Wfltc!Jed My Dteflm GtfJW--- ~ I y., / "Yes, for many years I have been dreaming that Marshall would someday have a science building that would surpass anything in the state and rank among the best in the nation. Now that dream is rapidly coming true and in a short while it shall have been completed. "In the latter part of 1947 I saw this dream start to materialize with the surveying of the ground. Then the beginning of the excavation with those powerful machines, next the pile driving and the laying of the foundation (top), this vision grew much brighter when the structural steel started to rise (second), even brighter with the structural steel completed (third), and thenmy dream has come true (bottom)."
