' ::- ' W I PRACTISE — Is needed so that students can apply the theories which they have learned and not become professors. To give students plenty of opportunity to practise the University has provided laboratories valued with equipment at over $4,000,000. In these expensive laboratories, students make trivial mistakes, are corrected, learn how to avoid making such mistakes in the future. This system has been very effective, especially in engi- neering fields, in preventing graduates from making expensive mistakes on trivial jobs. Practise makes perfect, the psychology department tells us, only when the practise is done correctly. This is assured at Lehigh where in all departments, professionally-trained faculty members closely supervise the laboratory work done on experiments planned in all cases by experts in their respective fields.

THEORY— Is the stuff that students get from books and faculty lectures. When the Facu lty believes that a student has acquired enough theory, he is given a diploma and called an alumnus. Some will call this blasphemy, but it is not. Complete knowledge of theory in their fields has made Lehigh men famous. That is fact, not theory.
