Old EQain is there with its classes, its lectures, its gay social life. The inspirations left by pro- fessors, the friendships won among students, will remain throughout life. Glmhurst College has a reputation centering around the tradition of stately Old main. It is a reputation for alumni who make good — men and women well guided on the pathways of life.

THE WORLD AT OUR DOORSTEP fi book on travel is always an intriguing one. Far off China, THE LIBRARY the islands of the Pacific, the wilds of Africa, the far corners of our own America inspire the dreams of young and old. But when our student days are over, the books, the dreams of far lands and distant scenes, will fade as each of us . returns in memory to the campus and to the library — so much a center of all campus life. Then it will be a scene like the familiar one above that returns hauntingly with its cargo of memories. Then each of us will say, Remember when I . . . . . . hurried up those same library steps to bone for an exam! . . . lounged between classes on a lazy spring day! . . . held a rendezvous with the only one in the world! . . . went to Glmhurst College!

THE CHAPEL The beauty of this typical campus scene is as much in what it repre- sents as in what it actually portrays. The camera ' s critical eye has caught Glmhurst ' s combination of nature ' s incomparable splendor, friendship ' s happy gaiety, and the individual ' s inspiration, product of the Christian emphasis which pervades the campus. The scene, of course, is the Chapel at 10:10. Friends are discussing — well, per- haps a meditation of Dean George Kalbfleisch. Perhaps they are pondering the words of Professor ITlenzel. Or was it one of the guest speakers from the local churches who inspired their comments? They may be talking over the leadership efforts of a fellow student or the contributions of the Chapel Choir. lUhatever the topic, whatever the reaction, it is the outgrowth of Glmhurst ' s aim to include spiritual stimulation as an integral part of the educational program.
