College Life Yesterday, many individuals felt that a college consisted of nothing more than a building and a group of students being taught by a group of instruc¬ tors. Today, any college worthy of the name includes, at least, a building adapted to the needs of the community served, a student body large enough for efficient administration, a teaching staff specifically trained for the duties to be performed, a curriculum broad in its scope, and college spirit and atmos¬ phere conducive to real living. That the State Teachers College at Salisbury is worthy of the name is evidenced by the fact that the physical plant is well adapted to the needs of Maryland, the student body, numbering two hundred fifty, is large enough for efficient management, the members of the faculty are not only well trained but experienced in the phases of college work for which they are individually responsible, and the college life is wholesome. The college has as one of the principal objectives the providing of con¬ ditions such as will enable all students enrolled to live full and enriched lives. According to Dr. John Dewey, We learn to do by doing. At the Salisbury State Teachers College st udents learn to live through living. Such living includes participation in classroom as well as participation in extra-curricular activities. Such expenditures as are necessary for efficient class, laboratory, and library work have been provided. The so-called extra-curricular activities include provision for students interested in art, athletics, debating, dramatics, journalism, and music. Student organizations furnish a variety of opportu¬ nities for individual participation on the part of both boarding and day stu¬ dents. The Student Council and allied organizations meet the specific extra¬ curricular needs of most students. We feel, therefore, that the State Teachers College at Salisbury is offering to the youth of Maryland genuine opportunities for living. J. D. BLACKWELL President • [ 8 ] •
