COR?iELL HALL Friendliness and fellowship are the keynotes at Cornell Hall. After just leaving ones home, Cornell is a haven for freshmen to come to; its size and compactness lends the dorm to the surroundings of one happy family. During the day and early evening the dorm is strangely silent because of classes on the Hill but, ten fifteen means more to these girls than the end of study hour — it means the beginning of things; girls getting together in their rooms to talk over their latest doings, girls in the rumpus room in the basement playing table tennis and perhaps (if food is on hand) girls in the kitchen having one last snack before bed. The girls on the Hill are proud of Cornell and its achievements. By the way, it ' s the only dorm that can boast of a man as a full-time tenant. 164

ORGANIZATIONS 0%GA7 IZATI0 l S JD prepare the student for life in a democracy and to make her increasingly self-directed and cooperative are the chief purposes of extra-curricula activities. These activities provide a flawless complement to classroom instruction and their benefits provide for some of the most valuable lessons in life. The participant in extra-curricula activities gains not only mentally and creatively but politically and socially. The lessons taught in self-government are instrumental in formulating the thoughts and actions of a truly educated American. In the social world the student acquires an ability of meeting and conversing with others in an easy and poised manner. The learned faculty of coopera- tion leads to the encouragement of thinking and leading. When the advantages of extra-curricula activities are totaled the sum can be viewed as the true symbol of a student ' s life outside the classroom. 165
