Robinson. Macalester is the home of student- factulty counselling, a system which has been imitated by colleges throughout the Midwest. Each student, upon entering, is as- signed both a faculty and a student coun- sellor. They, either together or sepa- rately, help him with his registration and generally orient him to Campus and stu- dent life. This system attempts to integrate the freshman into campus life more rapid- ly, helping to make him, at the same time, an independent personality. Preparing for the trip to Frosh Camp, the girls get ready to board the busses in front of Wallace Hall. Page Thirteen

The Weyerhaeuser Librarylhearl of Macalester. Completed in 1942, it is the most impressive building on the campus. Officially, registration days brought further swelling of already-Iilled classes. To cope with the influx of students, many departments increased their stalls to help the college gear itself to a new momentum. The new Little Theater building and further redistribution of existing classroom facilities aided the college in taking care of the students. Expectations are that enrollment will never again fall below 1,000 students. The Warren family enjoys a cap of eojfee al Presizlent Turelfs open house.
