To Teacher . in College Life To the 1962 Index, however, a puzzle remained. How does our University help students meet the chal- lenges of teaching? What specifically are these chal- lenges? For knowledge, what are the students' guides, their tools? And, how do they use them? In picture and print, therefore, we present these challenges, as they are met in the development from student to teacher. For us, University departments have been the students' tools. Our guides are the admini- stration and faculty. Our use is in social, athletic, organizational, and academic endeavors.
