What does the college library mean to the student? The library ts a meeting place of minds. It is the crossroad where the forward-looking youth of the ISMO ' s meet the great and the near- great of former generations. It Is a place where Ideas germinate—a fusion of past and present words and deeds—making an alloy with which to test life ' s future exper¬ iences. On common ground we meet strangers who change to life-long friends—books which become a part of us—men and women whose lives serve to mold our sense of values. The courageous deeds of pioneer effort, the miracles of science, the Inspiration of the fine arts awaken In us ever-widening intellectual horizons. Students who come to the library learn how to use books, how to know books, how to love books, and how to make books a vital part of their lives. This is our hope and belief, shared by the members of the library staff and by the students we welcome to the library. MARGARET S. MOUNT 22

The dramatic days of this college year have been so vivid there can be no forgetting. Friends leaving us to Join the armed forces or to go into vital war work, a military training center established on our campus; events such as these have come in quick succession. Less dramatic but equally significant has been the continuing college program for those who are preparing for teaching and other types of Important civilian work. The insistent call for more teachers than are available has hurried some of these programs at a time when it has seemed that preparation should have been more thorough than ever before. We know, however, that the education of teachers, like all education, is a continuous process and that a strong foundation has been built while you have been in college if you have clarified your thinking, organized your objectives, and developed an understanding of ways of achieving high purposes. We have faith In your capacity for continuous growth. AMANDA HEBELER. Director of Teacher Training 23
