B mat:ba iJMm t K Li ' K ' J)A y v. . ' In the midst of the whirlpool of campus activity sits the quiet, stately home of Herman B Wells, President of Indiana University. A glaring sun costs deep shadov s on Bailantine but leaves its shadows behind students passing from class to class. 10 Nearly every visitor to Indiana University com- ments on the beauty of its campus, which is worthy of the artist ' s brush or the photographer ' s camera in any season of the year. Big, bold, and beautiful, Bailantine Hall points skyward, reminding the stu- dent that attaining a satisfactory education demands pursuing high goals. Shaped of enduring limestone, the buildings on campus are examples of strength and creativity which the student is challenged to match. Sheltered by oaks and maples and guarded by limestone sentries, the magnificient home of the President stands in the center of campus. The se- cluded building provides a perfect backdrop for the seasons ' different moods. It peeks through fall ' s brightly hued leaves, spring ' s faint green shrubs, or summer ' s brilliant foliage; and the scene in winter might have fallen off a painted Christmas card.

I Attitudes Alter Midst Snow-Covered Campus I t .4l|f BS| ra ' ' ' ' tiidliiriiift ' ' ' . l k K» 1 7M 3 ■| 1 ww W f if 1 Winter finals are approaching; grades fall lower every day; financial problems increase — and just when the world is at its worst, a mystic curtain ol snow drapes the campus in wonder and shrouds the troubles of the University ' s thousands of students. The beauty of winter has a quieting effect on nerv- ous tension created by too many worries. Cars may skid on the streets; students may slip into snowdrifts on their way to class; but the exhilaration which snow injects into tiie University seems to compensate for minor dangers. In the midst of a snoAv storm, a troubled student can walk familiar paths with a different outlook. He remembers the color-splashed walk in the fall, and he can remember the fun he has known in his first semester as well as the headaches and the heartaches. The campus doesn ' t look quite so cruel with its gen- tle covering. He wanders, and he wonders. The dis- appointments and the failures are forgotten as Na- ture ' s gentle tranquilizer revives his dreams and his hopes for achievement in the future. ii
