10,000 Returned Students view the campus through two per- spectives—the upperclassmen see tlie famihar, and the new students see a strange pattern of paths and buildings. Soon they too, will learn where the Ad building, the Auditorium, and the School of Edu- cation are. But at first Science Hall and Owen Hall are onlv names, and the buildings look the same. They came— 10,000 strong. Of that number .3,424 were new. They came back to a town that both looked forward to and dreaded their arrival. In three day.s they swelled the popula- tion of Bloomington to 28,000. They came because brothers, sisters, or par- ents had graduated from here; because of a basketball team; because of a high school week- end; because of a wish for a better job; or for one reason or another. Some came to get a bachelor ' s, some a master ' s, and some to climb higher on the rung of the ladder of higher edu- cation. Some came knowing they would leave without any degree. The University was ready for their coming. Nineteen sororities, thirty fraternities, and five University dorm centers had been sterilized, deodorized, and sanitized to receive them. They unloaded what they had loaded in the Spring— all that and more. They liked the first excitement of registration and enrollment. In four days that confusion lost its appeal. The physical surroundings lost their new- ness. Soon these 10,000 students could not find it on the campus or in the 300 buildings. It had to be found in new ideas and new relationships if staleness and depression were to be avoided. New ftudents lean heavily on their ' crutch, the campus map. Bef re them lies the task of learning the names and loca- tions of the 300 buildings which are on the 900 acre campus. 20
