8,485 UNDERGADUATES USE THE NEW LIBRARY NyjEWEST of the I Jniversity's buildings, the Sullivan Memorial Library fulfills one of Temple’s greatest needs. Radiating from the impressive Reference Room, on the second floor (shown below), are many other rooms planned to provide for the ever-growing book collection, and to make these books accessible to students with a minimum of delay The building is in the English collegiate Gothic style of architecture, with walls of Chestnut Hill field stone matching those of Mitten Hall. It contains three stories and a base merit, with the book stacks arranged in seven tiers. Air conditioning and sound-proofing enable students to work m greatest comfort. At left is shown a glimpse of the Business Research Library, which, with the Reserve Book Room, affords additional reading facilities. Unusual in any library is the beautifully furnished Browsing Room, where students arc invited to read for pleasure alone. 24

YES, THERE IS A TEMPLE CAMPUS! [EXPANSION in recent years has pro vided the University with more open space than is generally realized by those who jibe about the “concrete campus ' At the Oak Lane Country Day School alone. Temple has thirty acres of ground, more than the total acreage of many colleges. The Tyler Art School and its grounds add another nine acres. The tendency has been to make greater use of these divisions for undergraduate teaching The Oak Lane School is a valuable adjunct to the Teachers College, not only for observation teach mg, but also for the X-group The foot-ball squad practices on the grounds. THE FIRST SNOW on the ground brings new beauties to the surroundings of the Art School. I HE OAK LANE SCHOOL, with its covering of ivy, set amid thirty acre of ground just beyond the City Line, is a real beauty spot.
