Hughes Hall was dedicated as the new home of the School of Music on June 4; graduates of the University, returning for Alumni Day, participated in the ceremonies. Breaking’ ground for the addition to Hagerty Hall took place at a brief ceremony on November 5.

Students and faculty received their first glimpse of the new Student Union building plans at an “unveiling” in University Hall auditorium on January 19. Groundbreaking for the addition to the Main Library, later to be known as the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, was marked by a ceremony on May 9. These were all significant parts in the launching of a building program, which eventually would add to the physical plant ten new structures and additions to three other buildings. It was appropriate that they should come during the anniversary year.
