The University Library at night. Environment Surroundings shape a culture, do much to educate the student Environment is one of the elements of a culture. The contours of America, the skyline of its cities, the smoke of its industry, the hurry of its business, the quiet of its residential districts has done much to shape the Dominant Culture of America. If the student is to play the part expected of him later in adult life he must learn to respond to environment. Consequently, the campus itself at the University of Detroit, as at any university, be- comes part of the students education. The Campus streets, its residence halls, chapels, classroom build- ings, Union, science halls, have a quiet and an ease that aid study. But being surrounded by the noise and bustle of a great industrial city, the U-D campus environment has enough of an overtone of hurry to help the student develop into the kind of man who as an adult can respond to the environment of the Dominant Culture while living too in the environment of his Catholic culture. ...,.. outside the Briggs and C ,,,,, dt F Building on the side The scene between classes of Sacred Heart Square. 11

Here several resecuclzers take five Seats of Learnin The University is a seat of learning that has many seats of learning: the steps of the Library or the Briggs Building . . . the benches in Sacred Heart Square or around the Fisher Fountain . . . the lawn in front of the Chemistry Building . . . a table in the Student Union Building . . . or, some quiet corner of the campus. The Engineering Building, Holden Hall, Smith Radio-TV Studio, the Commerce and Finance Building . . . these are also seats of learning. 12 Each student has his own The tables in the Students Union cafeteria, the empty classrooms, the desk of the student at home . . . these are seats of learning. The table at Leo's after the lunch hour, a seat on a bus, the car in the parking lot . . . these are seats of learning. Over 14,000 University of Detroit students must find time and a place to study and when they have found one . . . they have found their own seat of learning within the University. ia-
