The class stayed in one room, where the teachers came to them offering courses in English, History, Art and Science. The main purpose of the block was to promote discipline and commu- nications between the four subjects. The Freshman Block proved to be an interesting as well as worthwhile experiment for all those involved in this new and exciting 'innovation for the lab school.
