and my class ring and blue jeans still fit. The good news is that I probably have the best hair of any of my classmates and could pass for someone 8-10 years younger than myself.

The major building boom at Southwestern started in 1986 when they expanded the library and added a women's dorm. The men's dorms are still the same along with three of the four fraternity houses, the chapel, the administration building, and Mood-Bridwell (mostly faculty offices and the computer lab). The rest of the buildings are either new or had substantial renovations that increased their sizes significantly.
