f The established motto indicative of our school ' s character is Re- sponsibility . An inscribed bronze seal set in the floor of the main foyer proclaims this fact. The editors of Emblem 1954 have selected as its theme, the Major Functions of Living , as an integral part of the new curriculum program ini- tiated by the Chicago Public Schools. This theme is also representative of the philosophy of Chicago Teachers College: a flexible program and a dynamic philosophy founded on the belief in our responsibilities, as educat- ors and citizens, to freedom and to ourselves.
