ATHLETICS Action in a football game. As part of our well-rounded develop- ment in preparation for life, Temple Uni- versity presents a diversified athletic pro- gram. For those of us who are content to watch and cheer while others play there are the high-ranking basketball team, foot- ball team and soccer team, national cham- pion for the year. For those who prefer to take active part in sports there are many varsity and intramural teams. Women, too, have a complete program of varsity and recreational activities un- der the direction of the Women ' s Athletic Association. Our playing fields and practice areas are wide-flung, but for those who want to enjoy the athletic program, the oppor- tunity is here. Silcox goes up to score against St. John ' s. Eight

Studies are the main reason for the exist- ence of Temple University and are one of the most important influences in preparing us for life. It is through the University classroom and laboratory, through reading and studying that boys and girls begin to think as men and women. We learn the meaning of ob- jectivity and the scientific attitude. We have at hand the works and thoughts of the great philosophers, writers and scientists of all time as we seek a broad understanding of our civilization. Vital to our progress in the academic world is the faculty whose job it is to guide us in our efforts to achieve a degree of in- tellectual maturity. Also important is Sulli- van Library where we may go for study and research and where we may find books to stimulate us further. Absorbed interest in the chemistry laboratory.

Social life at Temple University is but another of the ways in which the University helps us in learning to live. Center of social life is Mitten Hall with its Auditorium for dances, mixers and dinners, with its Great Court and Alcoves for every- day talking and socializing and its Cafeteria and Grille for meals and snacks. Among the functions presented each year are the class dances, Homecoming, Carnival, mixer dances, the White Supper and Candle- light Concert, Brotherhood Dinner, convoca- tions and a host of affairs sponsored by the schools of the University. Because of the size of the student body and the difficulties in establishing friendly relations between so many people, much of the job of providing social enrichment falls to organizations, departments, and sororities and fraternities. These smaller groups within the University are often best able to help us in developing social skills for later ife. Hillbilly band at Alpha Sigma Alpha ' s rush party. Elementary Education tea.
