"GI SCARLET AND ILACK Page Five The Memory Compus'Sti/I Exists 0 Canvas In The Physical Plant By Kris Nash For those who are intrigued by what might have been. there is a fascinating canvas hanging In one office of the physical plant. it is the Grinnell “Campus of the Fu- ture," an artist's representation or a layout which was the result of “a decade of car to] study by appropriate committees, in coop- oration with engineers, architects, and landscape experts," It was finalized in 1949 and published in the November issue of ahe Alumni S&B, while Samuel N. Stevens was the acting president or the college. The A5“! explained that the dream plan “in no way destroys the ‘memory’ campus but pre- serves the spirit, the atmosphere, the compactness, and the land- marks, and beautifies, enhances, and meets the modern needs of present-day Grinnell.” It was in- tended to accommodate 1,000 resi- dent students and 100 off-campus dwellers. The portrayal of the campus has the appearance of an aerial view, but lacks the accuracy in certain relative distances and topographle cal features. North campus was shown intact as it exists today, with the excep- tion of the Norris halls. South campus, too, was identical with the present, but for a wide porch on the south wall 01 Mears and the addition of a tower at the en- trance of Loose, connected with a large structure intended to he the women's physical education lmlt. Across Eighth Avenue. to the north, the Younker Health Center was planned as it is at present, hut bore the deSign of a large, rambling building rather than its current blocky lines. Directly across Eighth irons Darby Gym was drawn the proposed new sci» ence building, which the AS&B represented as costing one million dollars. South of the science struc- ture, the Women's Gym had been Prominent Quaker To Speak Sunday Douglas V. Steere, a leader ol‘ the Friends in America, will de- liver the sermon in College Chapel Sunday at 11 am. His sermon topic is “East of Eden." Steers, who according to Rodger Eldridge, College Chaplain, is "one or the top dozen religious leaders in the country today." was the Quaker observer-delegate to the second and third sessions of the Vatican Council in Rome “ IS also World Chairman of the conference of the Quakers. Confer ences such as this are held about every 25-30 years. While Steere’s sermon Sunday will concern Quakensm, he will also discuss the Vatican in the “teed-back” discussion session, which will [allow the Sermon in the Religious Activities Room in Steiner Hall. As a senior personnel member of the American Friends Service Committee, he has traveled all over the world on special mis- sions. He has served actively in various capacities with the Nation- all Council oi Churches and the {,Worrd Council of Churches. with Douglas Vi Steerc special work in the area of Chris tian responsibilities for the preven- tion of war in the atomic age. Paul G. Kuntz (Philosophy), a former student of Steere's, described him as an “aggressive Christian passi- list.” more, who has in recent years made several trips to Africa, is a close friend of Albert Schweitzer, noted missionary in Africa. Kuntl also described Steere as a “Quaker - existentialist." Steere learned Danish for the purpose of reading Kierkegaard, and is a translator of the Danish philoso— pher. _ l let‘vtr'kklIALJP)!‘1‘t1|rl|€1r70l‘r|lIli!!lll’JT‘)‘I[wlelXS4>llllll‘h minim,“ removed, and in its place a large rountain threw bubbling spray into the air of central campus To the east of the fountain, in the location which it now occupies, lay the Bee buildings, but with the significant addition of a build- ing for applied arts along the pew er plant's west wall, The physical plant’s towering Smokestack was conspicious by its absence. Needless to say, the Grinnell Forum was missing, and the old union was not planned, either, Taking their place was the Stu- dent Center and Inn, an extensive structure at the junction of High- way 6 and Park Street, where the Fine Arts Center is now, The Stue dent Center and Inn included a Wing tor offices, class rooms, and work shops for the Congregation- al-Christian Conference of lowai The remainder of the Park Street lineup — ARI-l, Herrick Chapel, Carnegie and Steiner Halls -— was present, but not pic- tured was Goodnow, East of the Student Center and Inn, along Highway 6, stood historic Blair Hall, a longtime fixture on the Grinnell campus. Plans were to leave the intricately architectured exterior of Blair alone and to re model the interior into an ad- ministration building. Later, the whole building was razed to make room for Burling Library. ' Adjacent to Blair on the east was to be a T-shaped editice which was actually a combine. [ion of two Structures —- a Fine Arts building to house facilities for art, music, speech, and drama, and a LOGO-seat auditorium. These two buildings seem to have been similar to the Roberts Theater- Fine Arts complex which stands today, though they were consider ably farther east. A memorial archway to provide entrance to the campus was drawn just off Highway Six, between Mears and the proposed building [or Fine Arts, but east of the Mi&Sl:.L. tracks. Tile arch was “available for construction as a class gift." Random features that dlfier in» terestiligly from today's campus were the stationing of the flag pole before Blair Hall, next to the highway, and the use of the soccer field as a parking lot.

The ASRrB declared that the "Campus 0! the Future" would “contain all the educational facili- ties necessary for the optimum education of 1,100 men and wom- en." But “optimums” obviously change.
