. . . a many-sided preparation . . .' College life holds out to the student a many- sided preparation for a many-sided world. Classes, campus activities, bull fests, faculty and student friends, the library, the practice class, even the waiting wall south of Old Main hold veins of rich ore which memory and experience refine to pure gold. Living in college with fine ardor and growing discernment of values can give the sought-for intellectual maturity. And what is equally as much to be desired, it can give social ease, spiritual depth, and emotional strength. The mysteries of self and the wonders of ideas and laws and hypotheses, the beauty of friendship and the pain of disenchantment are all in the process, all in the ore of the richest college living. -J.

In this field Indiana State is one of the best colleges in the nation. Specifically, I want to congratulate the yearbook. Your Sycamores constitute a record of Indiana State college life from the original Old State Normal School to the present. The second contact of the prospective teacher is with the ad- ministration. Again, Indiana State ranks first among the colleges of the nation. In President Tirey, Dean Grinnell, Mr. Elder, Dr. Watson, and the members of the Teachers College Board I found true gentlemen, anxious to advise and counsel with me as I entered upon a teaching career at this college. Every desirable quality found in these leaders was reflected in the faculty already serving these administrators. The heart of an institution is its student body. The heart of Indiana State was found to be strong, sturdy, sympathetic, respon- sive and true. A down town campus of any school is confronted with many unfavorable situations. In Indiana State I have found a progressive institution developing a campus which will be the joy of the state of Indiana and the envy of colleges similarly located in cities throughout the nation.

Of course, I had stars in my eyes when thinking of college during my high school days, and, happily, none of my illusions have been shattered. I've en- joyed sitting in class, seeing the great ideas of history unfold before me, and I have felt the pangs of bewilderment common to freshmen. The junior prom and other social events de- lighted me. But perhaps most of all I've enjoyed the memorable experience of living in a dormi- tory and sharing my days at Indiana State with scores of other coeds. -NORMA MORGAN Freshman . . . 1 had stars in my eyes . . .
