classes. Labs Set Stage for Learning The days of sitting at the feet of a fomed scholar in an open meadow are rarely a part of education any longer. Through modern technology, man has gained greater control over his environ- ment and has created tools to explore and ex- plain his world. This mastery has reached a peak in the advanced facilities at Temple University. Students sit in air-conditioned, soundproof class- rooms instructed by teachers who utilize michro- phones, film equipment and handwriting projec- tors. They experiment with the latest professional equipment in laboratories and listen through head- phones to the sounds of a foreign language. Advancements in tools and techniques, however, have not altered the necessity of the vital teacher- pupil relationship which shares and communi- cates knowledge.

Mall Heavy Traffic Old brownstones are torn down and mosaic- faced, glass and steel structures appear, a con- tinous flow of concrete and mortar. Scattered areas of grass surrounded by wooden benches and aprons of concrete enclose the vacant spaces be- tween the buildings. Suddenly, the silent empti- ness springs to life as noisy, bustling crowds fill the yards. Sometimes the sun beats down and the hurried pace slows as students linger amidst the soft breezes and a ' osorb the hot winds of academic oratory. Some recline on the grass engrossed in sleeping or singing or just sneak away from respon- sibility for awhile. The cold weather comes, stirring the relaxing mood, and the bracing air speeds up the never-finished race for education. Always the mall is a piece of youth and motion. Tyler students paint and exhibit their work in the center of the campus. 20
