4 Indian summer moved the classroom outdoors. eaching . . . a traditional university role Teaching is believed to be one of the oldest arts known to man. When we first think of teaching we automatically picture a professor lecturing to a class or the many hours spent working in lab. However, the student must make a contribution if he is to benefit from the teaching process. He cannot merely sit in a classroom staring at the blackboard-he must respond to the information presented. He must investigate to see why a law is so stated or question the accuracy of a fact in history. By exploring all these possibilities, the student builds upon the foundation that the in- structor has provided. Through participating in class, experimenting and practicing, the student learns to per- fect his field of study. Knowledge is available, but the student must seek it. A student spends only a fraction of his college life in the classroom-what he does with his time outside of the classroom probably will develop the full meaning of learning. Additional reading in the library, quiet study in his room and independent research often means the difference between success and failure. Classrooms in the new commerce building are a contrast to those in White Hall. '

Registration may seem like an endless ordeal to Studenfsg yet Preservation . . . a basic supporting function Even though the means of preserving knowledge have drastically changed since the time of hand-written scrolls, serious students today, as in past years, still make use of available materials. Without UKis librar- ies with their collections of books, papers, microfilm, and other recorded information, the University could not perform its teaching and research functions. After discovering this information the student must then absorb it for his future benefit. In many cases, as illus- trated at examination time, he must rely on this store of knowledge. A college not only stores its knowledge in library volumes but also in the minds of its graduates. The long hours of study and preparation is the living link in preserving the wisdom of man. It is through the work of man that the achievements of our civilization are passed on to future generations.
