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.

LEARNING Gathering around piano in Mitten Hall West Alcove. TO LIVE Conwell Hall As we prepare to leave Temple University after sev- eral years of study, work and play, we realize that our most valuable experiences came not just in ordinary learning, but in learning to live. While we studied and read to become chemists, busi- ness executives, teachers, and artists, we were also learn- ing to become citizens of town, state, country and world. As we learned to be better technicians and specialists, we also learned to get along with our neighbors and as- sociates. We learned the importance of finding our place in life and of performing with joy and satisfaction the service that we were fitted for. We learned that the world needs men and women of broad vision to lay pans and dream dreams as well as specialists to carry out the plans. We learned that the world needs those who look at man as man, not as black or white, Christian or Jew. We learned the importance of human principles and ideals. We learned to appreciate art, literature history and science in their broadest sense. And we learned that making a successful living is only a part of living successfully. In short, we learned that there is more to learning than simply reading books, attending classes and being trained for an occupation. Whether in the classroom or on the athletic field, in worship or in observing beauty, in working with organizations or in attending social af- fairs in all of these we were not just learning, we were preparing for life, we were learning to live. In the pages of this book we will show some of the ways in which Temple University has helped us learn to live. Four

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
