In the biology labs, pickled dogfish, live frogs and micro- scopes mingle with collegians studying the different phases of botany and zoology.

Yes, we have some temporary buildings at Evansville College, and the Office building is a good place to begin a tour. That student rushing through the halls may be a reporter turning in his newsbeat, for The Crescent has its home beneath this roof. Here, too, are the Reading Clinic and the Health Cen- ter. Many professors have offices here, and the busiest time is during registration. Right behind the Office building is the Fine Arts building. College worship services are held in Medita- tion Chapel, located in the south wing of this structure. Collegiate artists paint and sketch in the art studios of the north wing, while others project in the centrally placed theatre workshop. Across campus is the Annex where we find the Post Office and Supply Room. AFROTC classrooms and of- fices are housed here, too. Follow the sound of music and we come to the Music building, where music majors have a choice of thirteen practice studios. The Women ' s Gym and the Athletic building shelter physical ed classes and all kinds of sports equipment. These, then, are the College ' s temporary buildings. Someday they must go, and modern, permanent struc- tures will rise in their places. The College will feel a bit sorry to see the temporary buildings vanish. After all, they have been temporary for so long that they have earned a permanent place in the story of EC. Meditation Chapel. At the Reading Clinic, freshmen are tested in reading skills, and, if found deficient, are taught to increase their ability to the level for college work. In this depart- ment, too, student teachers help children develop read- ing skill. The art department has classes for would-he art teachers or commercial artists and simpler courses for hobbyists. Valerius, famous Belgian painter, visited here last year. The ROTC program prepares Evansville College men for a commission in the Air Force after graduation.

Evansville collegians quickly shortened the name of the Engineering-Science building to the E building, but the list of qualifications which place it among the finest of its kind in the country cannot be diminished. This three-story structure stands on the southeast cor- ner of the College campus. Completed in 1947, the E building is functionally modern with its streamlined styling and latest equipment for classrooms and labora- tories. The structure devoted to science is a large building; it houses twenty laboratories, twelve classrooms and six- teen offices. Yet, all of its 59,601 square feet of floor space are equipped with fluorescent lighting. Every student picks up required hours of science here. However, the faces most familiar to its halls and labora- tories belong to pre-meds, biology majors, nurses and engineering students. Name any kind of laboratory — zoology, chemistry, physics — it ' s here. Engineering students, when they ' re not co-oping at plants or factories, work in the two- story engineering workshop. After this appraising glance, it seems most appropriate that the E building should be the last word in modern construction, for here study the young people who, through science and technology, will build the future. part of the day . . . Under the co-op system, students are employed by various industries while earning their engineering de- grees. As the complications of modern finance and technology increase, numerical knowledge becomes more important, and the math department becomes more thickly popu- lated. A four-year collegiate program, training at Baptist Hos- pital and the use of facilities at community health centers combine to form the school of nursing.
