In 1959, seniors in the School of Publication, like their predecessors, became editors, layout artists, writers, croppers, copyfitters and readers of copy and proof. What did they edit and process? REVIEW! In four wonderful issues of the Simmons Review, seniors in the School of Pub proved that they could put into actual practice all the techniques learned in Graphic Arts. Working on Review, under the guidance of Miss Dorothy F. Williams, was a different and exciting experience for all the girls. It was more than an individual project, it involved the cooperative eiforts of the whole class. When a girl attended a Review class she was no longer just a student, but a member of the Stalin Then there was the infamous Valz Project. In this case each girl was a staff in herself. Each senior in Pub prepared a publication, her own creation, right up to the stage where it could have been taken to the printer. Another important part of the preparation of a student in the School of Publication was the two week period during which she was placed in a company which specialized in the kind of work that interested her. With this excellent background girls in the School of Pub have always landed top jobs in the Held. fQ 3f4. U I q ,, L I Z f f Q 4 21'-V ' 'lag V , . 'N .

Mr. Kenneth Shaffer, Director of the School of Library Science, will soon see the results of his hard work on the plans for the new library building. Miss Mary Kinney, Associate Professor of Library Science, maintains the reference department. Miss Leonard teaches a class of Library Science students in their library workshop. Statistics on the School of Library Science reveal that this section of Simmons has the most diverse student enrollment. In 1958, the highest number of foreign students, twenty, were in Library Science. There were 146 graduate students, some of whom entered the School already holding M.A. or Ph.D. degrees in their special fields. Thirty-nine undergraduates were en- rolled, and 46 students in the school were men. As the School grew in numbers, its program also grew. The Case Method of instruction was introduced by Mr. Shaifer, Director of the School. Seniors and graduate students spent two weeks doing field work somewhere outside of Boston, and several students in Library Science uncovered interesting facts as a result of their motivational research on subjects such as Why do people go to libraries?', Probably the most exciting development in the year was the announcement that next year the Library and the School of Li- brary Science would be housed in a brand new building with facilities comparable to the best in the country. The School itself will occupy one whole floor and parts of two others, and it will accommodate 200 students. Congratulations to the School of Library Science on the entrance to its new home. 1714-
