Creativeness of the Liberal Arts college is the theme of the i949 Cumtux. A small school like Milwaukee-Downer College provides a different and more personal development of the individual, through the College's influence, than a large univer- sity does. The students become friends among themselves and with their instructors, and these understandings are a part of every woman's learning and ability to cooperate and live with other people, whether cleaning a dorm room together or painting the walls of the City Students' Room. There is of course creativeness and learning going on in the classrooms of the college. Most of the girls at Milwaukee-Downer are in specialized fields and find common study subiects. With the fine faculty this college has, girls are given wide opportunities to use their intelligence in preparation for trained iobs. Every maior subject has a club corresponding to it, and in this more informal and elective atmosphere, practical application and aims of the subject are displayed. The clubs unify the social friendliness of Milwaukee-Downer College and the academic learning being assimilated for iobs. The athletic activities and wholesome atmosphere of class and school spirit are indoctrinoted through Milwaukee-Downer Collegeis traditions. Every part of Milwaukee-Downer College is creative in the future life of the individual student, whether she utilizes the skills and learnings she has been taught here in a full .or small way. She is a well-rounded, happy and creative person.
