Our studies were of prime importance during the past year. Even though other activities were appreciated and enjoyed, our main efforts were applied toward our academic education. It was often difficult to get into the studying spirit. Those of us with seven o’clock classes re¬ quired even more effort to begin each school day, hut somehow we managed. A wide range of curricula was offered to all of us. The fields of engineering, nursing, edu¬ cation, business, music, and liberal arts were all well explored. College classes were not limited to meeting on the campus. Those majoring in education witnessed classes at local grade schools, and the college of nursing sent students to work at local hospitals and the state mental hospital at Anna, Illinois. In addition to day school, we were offered the advantages of an effective evening division. Classes were held from seven in the morning until ten at night, thus providing the adults of the area an opportunity to further their know! edge in a wide variety of subjects. 12
