Maybe class days are blessings in disguise, but they are blessings. In the classroom we have facts and ideas presented by a professor, and they are ex¬ plained and interpreted—bare book facts colored by the personality of the professor. In the morning chapel service we pause for spiritual refreshment, and sometimes for special programs which entertain and in¬ struct. In the library we avail ourselves of any of the 16,000 volumes and in a quiet, conducive atmosphere we can study. In the lab we learn by experiment and trial, the hard way—and the best. In the gym we keep our bodies fit and strong to stand the heavy demands of student life. Class days are blessings. In the college thesaurus they are the richest rooms.

UU Sba Window washers, waiters, typists and dime store clerks are representa¬ tive of the scores of students who spend a part of their extra-curricular time each week earning a share of their college expenses. Doubtless they don’t work merely because they want to, but because they have to. But they all know it is worth it to be in college—to be in Marion Col¬ lege. The proverbial saying declares that all we learn at college is not from books. It is true that we lea rn not only from books but also from people. And, indeed, the classroom instruc¬ tion together with the associations, the friendships, and the spiritual en¬ vironment combine to make Marion College a place worth our working to attend.
