Angell Hall ' s steps provide the atmosphere for spirited discussions on everything. The small, informal class is too rare in the massive Lit School . . . . but individual conferences help. 19

The Lit School student pursues a wide variety of studies . . . . some far from literary. ALMOST every underclassman has some contact with Lit school: a smattering of liberal arts before specialization, attempting to take notes in crowded auditoriums, distribution requirements, freshman English, Psych. 101, the lecturer who parrots the book he wrote, and the apathetic quiz section. His success is sometimes determined more by luck and the curve than knowledge gained. He complains of botany labs when his interest is literature. Then one day he discovers poetry in a cell. He begins to have a vague sense of intellectual growth. A concept is grasped, and it fits. 18

Lecture rooms may be crowded and dimly-lit, but to educate 27,000, corners must be cut. The lecture room waits to make its next contribution to mass education. AS AN UPPERCLASSMAN, the Lit School student finds his academic situation improved. He cares more, partly because he is doing more work in his major field, partly because he finds more recognition as an individual. His instructor may even know his name. In Lit School, he may study a field as technical as radio, as precise as calculus, as creative as acting. Whatever his field, he is aware that the Bachelor ' s Degree he receives only marks a beginning of a lifetime of study. fflfcrjss
