l SE CLASSES The formal situation in which we learn is much like this fine ex- ample of Philadelphia architecture. The circumstance is all dignity, the immediate situation, though com- plex and exciting, is merged into the whole formality of the event. Our experiences, the specific things that made our life at S.T.M. excit- ing, are the classroom life we lead. We see these pictures as being a good look at us while, we are being modified and changed by fact. All of those things that become actions in our later behavior use these hours of exposure as their back- ground.
