THE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY SCIENCE Library Science is one of the newer fields for the specially trained student. Formerly it was thought that any book-lover would make a good librarian. But unlike the book-lover, who is commonly interested in only one class of books, the librarian must have a knowledge of, and an interest in, all sorts of reading matter. The ideal librarian knows literally Something about everything, and everything about something. Something in the latter case means the classification of books, and the ways of using them fur the convenience of the public. The librarian must be able to answer questions on any subject, from Where can ] get a bibliography of Egyptian Archeol- ogy, to What is the average length of life of a goose. Needless to say, the librarian must have also the ability to understand people, and to adapt herself to their needs. She must lie prepared in all ways to act as a helper f the people. The Library courses at Millikin include the History of Libraries, refer- ence work, children ' s work, cataloging, and the selecting and reviewing of books. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. — Page Twenty-eight Marguerite Potter.

THE SCHOOL OF FINE AND APPLIED ARTS Tlie Millikin School of Fine and Applied Arts is an ideal place for a serious study of art, whether with the brush, chisel, or modeling tool. His- tory, practice, and theory are interlaced with a carefully selected numher of college courses, leading to a Bachelor ' s degree, with distinction in the specialty. The thoroughness of the work in the past, and the steady increase in the registration, prove the calibre of the work done here. Personal attention and individual interest are virtues in a school of medium size that crowded studios must of necessity overlook. Seven large studios and workshops, open to the needs of painting, sculpture, pottery, copper and silver smithing, and keramics, give the student ample opportunity to specialize. With these, a healthy and picturesque environment adds to make this school significant for the study of Fine Arts. William M. Hekking A still, small voice. — Hila Ayres. Page Thirty
