INDEPENDENCE HALL is Philadelphia to many. It is the highpoint of the city's sense of his- tory amid the rapidly changing industrial world. WILLIAM PENN'S statue on City Hall sees immense change come over the city he de- signed. in . ...sz- With a bustling metropolis like Philadelphia for our campus, perhaps we long for the peace and quiet ot the country. Yet noisy Philadelphia has within its boundaries the serene beauty ot Fairmount Park . . . prac- tically in hailing distance of center city. Philadelphia has ancient narrow streets . . . reminders of a day when the designers of our nation strode down Chestnut Street to the Hall. Today from high atop City Hall, Wil- liam Penn scans the glass walls of new Philadelphia crystalized in Penn Cen- ter Plaza. The Quaker City, commercial giant though it is, also engrosses the cul- tured and artist.ic. The Art Museum houses tine art from all ages. The Academy of Music, home of the re- nowned Philadelphia Orchestra, is entering its second century ot mag- nificent melody. Philadelphia of splendid past and energetic present, of hurly-burly and quiet bridle path, of art and com- merce welcomes Drexel students who make the city a temporary home town. LPHIH

THE HDSLUERS HBE In PIXIE CUSTER and Chris Boland tind a knotty problem to solve as they pore over the pages of the D-Book. Editor Chris and Art Editor Pixie worked long and hard to produce a book which would be an effective guide to the incoming Freshmen. D BOOK STAFF - FIRST ROW: S. Harrison, L. Lyons, B. Quinn, P. Custer, B. Welch, C. Boland, D. Kerr, M. Black. The only people who have their work completed at the beginning of the year are the D-Book staff. After concentrated work during Spring and Summer term, the work is completed in time for the book to be distributed to all Freshmen at Freshman Camp. From then on, this informative little booklet is a constant companion until the end of freshmen hazing. The D-Book has a wealth of in- formation for more than iust the Frosh. It also is a valuable help to faculty, ad- ministration and upperclassmen. The most important function of the D-Book remains to enable the student to orient himself in relation to school organiia- tions.
