THEORY AND APPLICATION Our theory of education is that it is not merely a matter of committing to memory some words other people have said or thought, but lhat it is a Aieans whereby we rnay learn the better way of doing those things which should be done in the world, with the end that we may learn o do them and at the same time find for ourselves the maximum happiness. Our school days are taken up with study, with now and then the inevitable test and exam. There is the search in the library for materials, the routine of pre- paring for classes, writing papers, and the aftermath of anxiety as to grades on report cards. Sometimes it seems that life will all be this sort of thing — a round of discussing theories and ideas, of rehearsing what has been done or said or thought, and a matter of keeping oneself aloof from the world that is doing and saying things we repeat in poll-parrot fashion. But when we think more sensibly v. ' e know that is not true. We know that in a few years we are to be a part of that world which seems so far away to us now — that in a few more months we are to take our places in the march of our nation ' s progress and that from there on out we are to be men and women. We think of those things and for a moment imagine the glories of those days to come, but our e e% return to our lessons and we remember that the assignment for eight in ihe morning is not yet finished and this is not the time for dreaming. Have students throughout the past felt this way about school, and almost wanted to quit now to enter that throng of men and women who they thought were doing the noble things, never realizing that they themselves were enjoying the greatest opportunity the world has known? Yes, I ihink they have. I think it is a universal fact that we are eager to begin our practice but that we are not so happy to spend the hours necessary to learn the theory which should be the basis of our prac- tice. Perhaps if we could see that relationship between the theory and the application our minds would pene- trate deeper into ihe rich things at our command. At Trevecca the purpose which the students and the teachers have in mind is that of giving to the world a living proof of the power and the grace of our God. We plan to go to the top in the fields of our study, but at the same time we keep our hearts steadfastly on Him who is our Absolute Reality, and we know that through Him we shall conquer.

THIS CAMPUS OF OURS The Trevecca campus of 1946 is the result of much dreaming, planning, hard work, and sacrifice. Some- where in Trevecca ' s future we believe there is a million- dollar campus, that there will be several new buildings, that the campus will extend to the Murfreesboro Road and there will be a private entrance to the school from that highway. But at present we are rejoicing over the completion of the New Administration Building and the improvements made in the other buildings on the campus. The ground has been broken for the New Men ' s Dormitory, which will be constructed on the tract of land just east of the present men ' s dormitory; con- struction will begin as soon as the money is on hand to start work. Across the road from this building will be the College hHill Church, for which excavation has already been made. The McClurkan Memorial Building, completed by the faN term in 1942, houses the college classrooms, audi- torium, chemistry laboratory, library, music studio and. at present, the grade school. We look forward to the day when we can have a Fine Arts Building, a separate library, and perhaps a science building. The New Administration Building, constructed on the site of the former administration building which burned in 1943, houses the high school classrooms on the second and the basement floors, and the offices on the first. Those who recall the crowded office Trevecca has had in recent years sigh with gratitude and surprise when they first visit the private offices of the heads of the departments, the president, registrar, financial secretary, and the bookkeeper. Hardwood floors . . . fluorescent lights . . . new desks and chairs . . . new typewriters . . . telephones on the desks . . . privacy and silence — these factors and others make office work a delight and a privilege. In this building is also the Book Store, DARDA Staff Office, Trev-Echoes Office, and a new prayer chapel. Dormitory accommodations consist of hiardy Hall, for the men, and McKay Hall for the women. In the base- ment of McKay Hall is the cafeteria, which has rather recently been brick-veneered, and equipped with Vene- tian blinds and a furnace. Other buildings on the campus consist of the presi- dent ' s home, the Louise Glbbs Apartment (better known as the Gresham Apartment), the College Print Shop, and a barn for the livestock. At various points on the cam- pus floodlights have been erected, so that whether one comes on the grounds during the day and sees the shadows and the charms the sunshine adds or enters at night and receives full benefit of the light ' s reflection through the trees and across the sloping lawn, either effect is equally beautiful and inspiring. Truly we appreciate the campus which is ours today, but in the light of the many Improvements which have been made in the past few months and the recent years we can see no reason for our not soon having such facilities as would be second to none as compared to the plant of any other Nazarene college.
