TI-IE CQLLEGE LIBRARY C. WELLS LUCILLE BRUMBAUGH B.A., M.A. Park College. B.S., Northwest Missouri State Teachers Col- lege: University of Illinois Library School. The College Library, in charge of Mr. Wells and the assistant librarian, Miss Brumbaugh, offers a place where students may study without interruption. There are twenty-five thousa.nd volumes in the library to supply the needs of the students and faculty members. The West Library contains the special reference books and the books reserved by the faculty to be used by their classes. This is the best section of the library from the standpoint of well selected books. It is also the best place to study. Open shelves lessen the work of those at the charging desk and make the library more convenient for students. Each year 35,000.00 is spent for new books, and 3600.00 for magazines. In addition to this expenditure many books are rebound and magazines are sent to be made into bound volumes. The New York Times and The United States Daily are filed and indexed. Ten college students make up the library force. This year the following students are on the force: Genevieve Bucher, Norman Clough, Bernard Keefe, Fern Alley, Ernest Reid, Olatha Suetterlin, John Wright, Virginia Meyers, Elizabeth Edwards and Walter Dowell. IN TI-IE LIBRARY My days among the dead are passed, Around me I behold, Wher-e'er these casual eyes I cast, The mighty minds of old. My ever constant friends are they With whom I converse, day by day. -Southey. l25l

THE LAW CLLB i Lett Kelim Noblet Brown Woolsey Hooper Stalling Rybolt Pettigrew Allen Bashor Yates The Law Club, under the leadership of Russell Noblet, president, has been working this year for the promotion of a feeling of fellowship and cooperation among its members, to encourage interest in the spirit and the letter of the law, to sponsor public discussion and debate, and to promote the general welfare of its members. This is the second year for the Law Club. It was organized on the campus last year. The beginning of the organization was early in the fall quarter. Clinton Morris called a meeting of all students interested in law and out of that assembly grew the Law Club. E. W. Mounce, a faculty member, was present and helped create the organization. The Constitution of the Law Club was drawn up by a committee composed of Thomas R. Hooper, Clinton Morris, and Clarence Woolsey. After the committee's report was read and adopted the club was formed on September 25, 1929. The club holds a mock trial occasionally to acquaint the members with the procedure of courts, methods of stating cases and other legal steps.

A Teachers College fulfills its functions in the degree to which it turns out a body of eliicient teachers who have something to teach and who know how to do it. The very heart and life of a teachers' college is its professional school and through the professional training efforts does it justify its existence. This places upon the Education Department a great emphasis and responsi- bility. The Education Department strives to impart to those who are preparing to teach, plans and methods of procedure which have been tried and proved successful. Courses in the Education Department consist of methods in the fields of mm
