President of the College: Dr. Willis E. Pratt There are many characteristics by which a college is judged — the professional preparation and experience of its staff, the caliber of its student body, the facilities which it has at its command, and the intellectual climate of the institution. We are confident that our stafF at Indiana is a most compe- tent one and our admissions policy guarantees a student body of high grade. While the facilities of the College are not extensive enough for the size of the student body, those which are now available are of good quality. Many factors contribute to the intellectual climate on a campus. Chief among these is an academic freedom, unfet- tered by outside interference, which permits and encourages free inquiry and a discussion of controversial issues. To this is added a concern for and an interest in the cultural life which the College affords, in these respects Indiana prides itself on the emphasis which it places on the importance of these intellectual standards. All of these characteristics go to make up the traditions of any institution of higher learning. The importance which Indi- ana has attached to these characteristics over a period of more than 80 years has given it a rich background upon which there is based a sound program of teacher education for today ' s world. It has contended that teachers must be first of all educated people with a broad general education who utilize in their thinking the scientific method. The modern teachers college no longer bases its program on the tech- niques and the methods inherent in a good teaching process. While it is still concerned with these, it is much more con- cerned with the more fundamental purpose of preparing a really educated person as a teacher. €: A y 10
