Chatting on campus is the national pastime of all college students and faculty members. Our Campus lives like o benign figure - a living form of en durance, patience and security. Huge steel and brick buildings compose the skeleton with gray windows to gaze glossily upon the stalwart massiveness of the body. Within the form beats the heart of knowledge bubbling, break- ing and spreading The pulse is felt in the lectures with their multi- tude of eager questions and in the silent absorption of the library. Students form the life of the figure. They present and applaud plays and cause gavels to ring os meetings begin. Nimble canvas shoes leap and pivot on a court amid shouts crescending to a thread like shrill. Body, heart, and soul combine to personify our Missouri State Teachers College as its giant metabolism works smoothly to provide a finished product. We have recorded the progress and achivements of our sprawl- ing giant in this 1961 Echo which reflects the school's personality. The cover holds a body of memorable events capturing the spirit of this year. We give you this book as an archive of the being of which we arc a part.
