Llffcutk iiwtdext f ,p l z Burning the midnight oil is an every night occurence now that classes have been speeded up and study has been intensified to meet the needs of a world at war. Students are carrying extra hours so that they may obtain their degrees before being called to active duty. From the science departments to the language division instructors have doubled their efforts in an attempt to extend the opportunities of a liberal education to an eager student body. Realizing the need for an educated public with which to rebuild a chaotic World, Indiana State is a training center for the development of future teachers of America. Our library, which houses some 400,000 volumes and ranks as one of the finest in the country, is fully prepared to handle the increase in refer- ence research. A capable staff is working day and night to keep the thou- sands of valuable reference books in repair and up to date. This is but one of the Ways in which Indiana State has met its obligation as an educational institution. Aside from the literary, the practical is being taught as a vital part of present day needs. Camouflage, mathematics of gunnery, use of instruments and military information classes all show the growing tendency on the campus-one of hard Work with an eye to the future. cla tu v tricks of Lionel Neiman demon- .
