The School of Library Science offers both a one-year graduate program of librarianship and a four-year undergraduate program. Here the student learns the policies and organization of the library, and at the same time comes to deeply appreciate the meaning of the word book -as a medium of communication, as an art, as a way of educating. As the science student needs to experiment with chemicals in the laboratory, so must the library student have access to books in the library. Hence, the new build- ing is a source of great enthusiasm in the School of Library Science. In addition to housing an aesthetically-pleasing, well-equipped library for all Simmons students, the new building also contains many features of particular interest to the School of Library Science. The entire Library School, including classrooms, faculty olhces, and the Library School's own specialized library Cwhich is, in essence, a labor- atoryj, will be relocated in the new building. The improved facilities should help to further augment the excellent and growing reputation which the School of Library Science has enjoyed since its birth, early in the history of Simmons. -,,dY,,.

School of Social Science PAUL NICHOLS, Associate Professor of Economics The School of Social Science oiTers four basic programs-public adminis- tration, economic analysis, community work, and psychological measure- ments. These programs are designed to give the student a broad general education, training in her field and an opportunity to reach beyond the class- room. Field trips and volunteer work put her directly in the setting she will encounter after graduation. BRUCE HAWTHORNE, Assistant Professor of History 26 JOHN HUNTER, Assistant Professor of History
