Tecicher of Experience Washington offers many opportunities for learn- ing and to Northwood students this is perhaps the most beneficial of its diverse aspects. As the store- house of the country's knowledge. Washington contains many institutions such as the Library of Congress and IJ. t'. t'entral which house a wealth of information not available elsewhere. At museums like the Lincoln Museum and the Smithsonian In- stitute information on special fields is Collected and displayed. But the advantage which Northwood stu- dents enjoy because of their nearness to Washing- ton is not limited to research. They gain valuable. practical experience by being able both to examine the processes of our government and to observe them in action. Students benefit, too. from their exposure to the Washington newspapers in which national and international news is covered compre- hensively and evaluated objectively. In general, stu- dents at Northwood owe to Washington and its facilities a certain depth in their studies and their wider conception of government and world affairs.
