It ly in the ereafter, those :orily ence. tistic iroll- i the 'tunity gazers. To the Tech student, Liberal Arts is a baf- Hing and rather annoying maze, through which he must run in order to obtain, together with his technical knowledge, that intangible some- thing known vaguely as a broader education . Its courses, he finds to his bewilderment, are neither so simple as welding, nor so mentally stimulating as physics and calculus. English A, with its composition, reading, and poetry, is a gauntlet which the university throws down to him. Accustomed as he is to the wide open spaces of Tech, he is seized with a claustro- phobic panic when shut in one of the smaller rooms of Locy. The Journalism student, conversely, regards his Liberal Arts classmate with a patronizing sympathy. He considers his course easy, and pities him, too, that he cannot possess that talent necessary to a journalist. If the L.A.'er groans after a two hour geography lab, he in- quires in his quietly superior tone, what he would do in the four hour reporting lab? To those enrolled in it, however, Liberal Arts conveys very different things. It is classes in Fisk, where the romance languages, German and home economics hnd their headquarters, and Locy, with its anthropology department. L.A. students share Eayerweather with journalism, philosophy and language drill sections meet there. The plot of ground containing U. H. and the Rock,fcontains also the heart of L.A. Univer- sity hall is almost completely devoted to Liberal Arts courses, and Liberal Art students are cer- tainly not less devoted to the Rock. But what is this Rock that deserves such de- votion? The Class of 1902, evidently not realiz- ing the possible consequence on the social and political life of Northwestern, imported a likely looking piece of quartz from the Devil's Lake region of Wisconsiii for a graduating gift. It was placed between Harris hall and U. H. and was intended for a drinking fountain. However, the plumbing was removed several years after its installation because the water froze and broke the pipes during the winter. Since that time the Rock has served almost every purpose ex- cept as a source of water. John Evans, religious center on campus, takes its name from the founder of the university and Evanston. Harris hall, a classroom building, is the scene of student publications and headquarters of the history department. Northwestern's life saving station, now the Coast Guard building, is associated with many heroic deeds.
