hi.. ' ;; 7 ? nrr Take a handful of buildings on a 1600-acre plot, throw in a few students, faculty mem¬ bers, books and sundries—and you have a campus. Take this same campus and locate it in the plains of northwestern Indiana—and you have St. Joseph ' s College. And a very interesting place it is, too. To prove our point, and to help you meet some of the fascinating people and things in Collegeville, we ' ve ar¬ ranged this free guided tour of the campus for you.

The first stop on our pictorial tour of the campus is Collegeville ' s Grand Central Sta¬ tion. A beehive by day and a tomb by night, the Administration Building houses the nerve centers of the campus—the president ' s, deans ' , registrar ' s, treasurer ' s offices. Inhabiting its up¬ per floors are the greater part of the college faculty and the brothers. In its basement, a seg¬ ment of the freshman class holds sway. The men of St. Joe traverse the worn main hall often—to stop in an administrative office for information or help, to visit the student bank, to check with the information desk on train and bus timetables—but always steering clear of that cubicle of calm for the instructor at the end of the corridor—the faculty room. Efficiency is the keynote of the Ad Building. Keeping a college of some 700 students, faculty, and assistants in working order requires the utmost in modern methods and in old-fashioned know-how, but the personnel of the Administra¬ tion Building seems to perform this, and to per¬ form it well. ■v - . • m mam . administration building Page seven
