Students Vary Campus Study Every student at the University has as a goal accumulation of knov ledge. This goal may be achieved in part by attending classes, but much of what is learned must be gleaned by individual effort. For seemingly endless hours, the student must sit alone with his maps, charts, text books, and piles of scrap paper until the printed ideas have become indelibly imprinted on his memory, a basis for the student ' s own thinking. Methods of study are as varied as the number of students studying; some prefer a quiet room at 2:00 A.M., others require background music, and some even do acrobatic contortions. Whether in the library, on a patch of grass, or in a crowded cafeteria, the college student must choose the method suited to his own needs. Amidst the noise of the cafeteria, students study. In the quiet of the new lounge, students can study?

Note-taking completed, students relax amidst shadows and Gothic architecture. The persevering student acclimates himself to his future three-story library. Symbolically being erected as the projected center of the future University campus, the ultra- modern Samuel Paley Memorial Library will soon replace ivied Sullivan Library, the present home of Temple reading, study, and research activity. Scheduled for opening in late 1965, Paley Library will feature an open-stack system, whereby stu- dents can go directly to the shelves and select the books they want. This will be a welcome replace- ment for the present time-consuming closed stack system, in which a book can be obtained only through the librarian. The new library, planned to house over o million volumes, will contain lounges and meeting rooms and is one of the many ex- amples of the rapid growth of Temple, expanding to meet the needs of an increasing student body. Opposite: Lined up at the main desk, students await the books coming down from the stacks. 26
