INTRODUCTION
COLLEGE ANNOUNCES PLANS
Because of Increased efforts in recent years to develop a
sound educational format, St. Ambrose has now reached
a point where it is imperative to expand and refurbish
the physical plant. The school has arrived at a plateau
both in academic content and atmosphere; and, from this
plateau, the college must either expand or stagnate.
Internally, the most notable occurrence within the academic structure of the college is the contribution made
by six of its teachers.
Two teachers, Fr. Edward O'Connor and Fr. C. F. Griffith,
are now serving the departments of philosophy and history for their forty-fifth year. In addition to these, four
lay teachers, Miss Agnes Renner, Mr. Shannon Boyd, Dr.
Prudent Coussens and Mr. John McGuire, have been
teaching for twenty years.
It is a tribute to both the college and these educators
that such loyalty is seen at St. Ambrose. The college and students are well aware that these six
teachers have become as much a part of
the college as the buildings or the oaks*
Externally, the most notable feature
is, of course, the building plan
with the first of its projects currently under construction. It
must be remembered that this
is only part of the over-all
construction program, and that
its main goal is to bring to the
school the best possible physical
base for its operation.
This year is truly a tribute to the spirit o?
growth at St. Ambrose.
