Baptist Temple As an urban university in the heart of the city of Phila- delphia, Temple University has no grassy hillsides and no gleaming lakes. The campus consists mainly of side- walks and row houses with several giant halls in their midst. And the students are largely commuters, many of whom work part or full time. This environment, this urban situation, affects all that Temple University is and does. Its spirit has a touch of the throbbing pu se of the city with its crowds of people. There is the intellectualism that thrives in a city where cultural advantages abound, and the feeling of brother- hood that grows as understanding grows. With these goes a spirit of liberalism, and the realization that change will occur and must be guided. The city offers material things in its relationship with the University. It offers jobs at close hand for those IP need. It offers entertainment, stores and transportation. And offers a laboratory of life for the social scientist and the artist. In our year s at the University we have come to over- look its faults and disadvantages and have sought out the good. We have taken the advice of Russell Conwell and have looked for our acres of diamonds where we are. We have found that in its surroundings, as in its pro- gram of studies, religion, aesthetics, athletics, social ife and activities, Temple University has helped us not only in learning, but also in earning to live.
