Following one well- traveled route we came to the 2nd East Steps — popular in spring and fall because of the beauty of the rich foliage and shrubbery bordering them — and on moonlight nights be- q use of Lover ' s Lane brancfi- irig off at the middle landing. At the top of the steps we find the Sundial. ... Passing the training school, we see a group of athletes lounging on the steps.

make each day a lovely, lasting treasure t The Grant Library Erected in 1925, the new library was named in honor of the president of the L. D. S. Church, Heber J. Grant. It is today one of our most modern and well-equipped buildings. Besides housing a complete library of books and periodicals, the Grant Library is headquarters for the English, History and Language departments. On the second floor is found the large reading room, used almost exclusively as a clearing house for dates. Remember? — that place where you went to chat with your friends — atid to study occasionally . . . The Maeser Memorial Regardless of the way you chose, the first thing you saw as you reached the top of the hill was the Maeser Memorial Building, whose stately pillers can be seen throughout the surrounding country. It is fitting that such a building should honor our first president, Karl G. Maeser, whose work in youth education places his name in a position comparable to that of the building — a place of em- inence, overlooking all it surveys. Within its walls are found the offices of the University and Associated Student presidents. President ' s Aides. The College of Commerce, the University Press, the Y News and Public Service Bureau, and last, but by no means least, the Banyan office. Yea, man!!!
