An atmosphere for learning is created.

Interest is the key to learning — the professor ' s interest in the student and, reciprocally, the stu- dent ' s interest in the professor and the subject matter he presents. Enthusiasm for learning can be conveyed to the student through the profes- sor ' s use of up-dated teaching devices and per- sonal contact. Eastern ' s acquisition of a more endowed professorate throughout the years has insured the use of these teaching techniques.

Within this educational structure, the most important facilities used in the quest for knowledge are the minds of the students. Learning is a process of incorporating facts and theories to form applicable concepts. As theories are learned and concepts are applied, a challenge grows and makes in itself a more open and ready atmosphere for learning. The student must accept this challenge; and seek not only what is taught in the classroom, but find that knowledge which he alone can acquire — an understanding of himself.
