At 8:30 students emerge from the various dorms and the dining room and strike out across the campus toward Buttriek. Here all morning (and often part of the afternoon) Hottentots listen in- tently to lectures, agonize over tests. At the 9:30 bell every girl stumbles down the steps in her haste to get to the mail-room, trying to out-distance the person ahead politely, but firmly. A coke in the book-store downstairs offers another opportunity for a break in the morning routine. Endless hours are spent in the library (below). Part of that time is spent in leisurely study, part in hectic cramming and last-minute term-paper writing — part, too, in animated conversation in sup- pressed tones. Into the beautiful Gothic door of Presser come many notable celebrities. Inside, in simple, dignified Gaines Chapel, they lecture to expectant audiences. Blackfriars give their plays there. Twice monthly students come to enjoy a music appreciation hour in Maclean Auditorium upstairs. And every morning they enter the chapel for the singing of hymns and a few minutes of prayer.

Murphey Candler stands placidly in the sun, waiting for the 4:30 rush to the Pair-a-dice. Then sophomores entertain Hottentots (at a profit) with sandwiches and music. At other times during the day students come to enjoy a magazine, listen to the radio, or use the kitchen to concoct some special delicacy. Down at the gym (below) other kinds of relaxation are offered. A swim in the pool, or a set of tennis are favorite ways of getting much-needed exercise. Eii ■ ..- .sit -..— !-• ' ,-
