Smith Hall, the neu' dormitory for men of Illinois State Normal University u 'as first opened in the fall of the school year just ending. It is located near the campus and u'as formerly one of N ormal's 'most beautiful private homes, noted for its stateliness and for the beauty of its gardens. The newly-named Univer- sity Club took the initiative in the establishment of the new hall.

So the story goes on-new stairways to relieve congestion on the second floor, a new Home Management House on Mulberry Street, daily radio pro- grams, a new cut system, new class hours, assemblies, new student-teaching arrangements-the list seems inexhaustible. In the more intangible aspects of campus life we find a new emphasis upon widening of intellectual interests, a new consciousness of the common interest of all in extra-curricular activities made manifest in a new School spirit, the sort of thing which has given Old Normal a decisive gridiron victory over her rivals from Wfesleyan, and finally we find the eject of the newer curriculum as it is bringing the students of Illinois State Normal Univ.ersity a growing de- sire to understand the true mission of the teacher in a changing world.
