I'MVERSITY BlILDIXG Looking down from the fourth floor
of Love Memorial Library, the landscaping project of the Univer
sity building program assumes more formal symmetry. This land
scaping was made possible by a $50,000 donation from the Cooper
Foundation. University workmen finished work on this project
early this fall.
50 NU Years See
Major Cfoarsqes
Two historical events are
chiefly responsible for the size
and shape of the University
campus.
University archives show that
state officials selected the Salt
Creek flats of northwest Lincoln
for the campus, despite the cer
tainty of the railroads being lo
cated nearby, and despite the of-.,
fer of the rolling hills of south
east Lincoln which would com
mand a view of the city.
The second factor was the
long-standing controversy over
the removal, first, of the Univer
sity, and second, of the College
of Agriculture, from Lincoln to
another site in the state. This
had the effect of short term
planning for both the buildings
reeded and where they would be
located on the campus.
Campus Chances
Despite these obstacles the
University campuses had under
gone a startling transformation
in the past half century.
In 1900, for example, the city
campus was contained in a four
square block area. There were
six buik inas (five of which are

sixth was University hall, razed
two years ago.
In the early 1000's the cam
puses spilled over, for the first
time, into the area east of
Twelfth street. During this pe
riod Richards laboratories. Social
Sciences hall, Avery Laboratory
of Chemistry, Administration
hall, Bessey hall and Teachers
College were built.
Three Buildings.
In the 1020-45 period tax funds
wore spent tn build only three
buildings, Andrews hall, Morrill
hall and the power plant. Other
additions were the Stadium (pri
vate funds), the Coliseum (from
c'hletic receints). the Union
(from PWA funds and student
f"s), Love Memorial library (a
pi ft) and the men's and women's
residence halls (paid for by stu
dent rental fees).
In 1945 the state received state
surnlus funds for a postwar
building program which permit
ted construction to start on Bur
nett hall, the Military and Na

lection of buildings has moved
ahead slowly since 1900.
One major problem has been
acquisition of property north
and east of the campus, the only
direction in which the campus
could expand.
Another problem has been
making the campus look like a
University campus. This has
moved ahead under the impetus
of spasmodic campus bcautifica-
tion campaigns. the Diggesi
boost toward a more Deauuiui
campus came two years ago
when the Cooper Foundation of

The University hopes that this
demonstration of what can be
done to beautify the campus will
inspire others to donate funds to
re-landscape other sections of
the campus.

Snowflakes on the stage cur

the dance.

Professor
Notes Rise
Of Interest
A riofinito trend toward greater
studies of the humanities was re
ported by Bryn J. Hovde in the
January issue of Survey.
Hovde writes that a "very con
siderable increase of interest
among the students and, not
least, among the veterans, in the
humanities" is evident.
"Many students have aban
doned the social sciences in a
quest for individual salvation,"
he says. "Personal satisfaction
and happiness is sought in the
arts of expression, in philosophy,
and in psychiatry as a guide to
personal adjustment. Instead of
analyzing society and trying to
make it a pleasant place for the
individual, oneself and others,
the disillusioned turn to self
interpretation and individual ad
justment," observes Hovde.
Product of War
The writer says the new em
phasis on the study of humani
ties is an outgrowth of post-war
disillusionment. He writes that
students have wearied of politics,
economics and international re
lations and now desire the
"luxuries of living" through
association with culture.
"There are strong psycho
logical reasons," writes Hovde,
"why serious students may have
been turning to the humanities
and the arts. For some fairly
large number it is reasonable to
assume that their interests are
an escape from the hard and
frustrating realities of the scien
tific, social, and political world.
Search for Understanding
"The drift to humanities is in
considerable part a quiet, in
sistent search for an understand
ing of the significance of our
times."
If the humanities should now,
ravs the writer, in the middle of
the twentieth century and under
the influence of the scientific
method, powerfully engage the
interest of the American people,
and if that interest might for
some time be uninterrupted by
war and domestic crises, then
"America's moral and intellec
tual qualities would almost
surelv grow to govern her in
disputable material power."
Hovde says it is "obviously
impossible" to foresee the extent
of the interest in humanities,
"but it is worth noting that in
the history of human thought
new epochs have never been

To Close Larlv
JTtlOf Program
close at 7 p. m. Monday through
Thursday, John A. Killian, Union
manager has announced.
The action was taken because
receipts during the evenings did
not justify keeping the Union
open. The doors will open at
7 -30 p. m. every day. The build
ing will be closed at 5:30 on Fri
day, at 1 p. m. on Saturday.
Special events scheduled at the
Union will extend the closing
time, and the Union will remain
open longer for large events such
as dances. Announcements will
be posted when such events are
held.
This action was taken after
study by members of the Union
board and the faculty and man
agerial directors. It was empha
sized that these new closing hours
are on a trial basis, and that the
Union would always be ready to
serve the needs of the students
or. the campus.
