Studying is a Habit Reading becomes almost a way of life to the law student, who spends the greater part of his time absorbed in appallingly weighty tomes. Occasionally, however, the gravity of these intellectual pursuits must give way to somewhat lighter fare, and the struggling lawyer takes time out to indulge his fancy in material which appears to be completely irrelevant and immaterial to the case. The architect ' s studying must be largely creative thinking, and contemplation takes place with slide rule and drawing board close at hand. Dreams of the fantastic, the improbable, and occasionally even the practical take shape in the musing of these pensive sessions. 25

The gross anatomy lab is a familiar haunt to the med student, who must thoroughly acquaint himself with the intricacies of the human body. He painstakingly examines the complicated system of bones and joints in anticipation of the time when his work will no longer be confined to the laboratory. Some bones are studied separately, while others are seen in their natural positions in cadavers. 8 Otcimm Each student is seeking to discover the field which he will eventually select for the specialization of his studies and further endeavor. For one it will be the field in which his achievement is outstanding. For another it will be that which provides an opportu- nity for the fulfillment of his desires or ambitions. One will carry on this quest in the general curricula, while another will enroll in a more specific pre- professional program. The hope is, of course, that each student will choose the field of concentration which is best suited to his particular abilities. Varied distribution requirements and an extensive counsel- ing program are designed to encourage the effective- ness of that choice. No matter what area the indi- vidual elects to study, he will be carefully trained to become an integral functioning part of his society. Some aspects of his preparation may seem irrelevant, at first, but all are discovered to be significantly interrelated. Each field of knowledge has its place, and each individual will make his contribution. 24
