THROUGH ITS SCHOOL of Education, the University fulfills one of its most important functions, that of training teachers. For some students of Ed. School, the major goal is a teaching certificate security on a piece of paper. For most, the goal is to impart knowl- edge, inspire learning, and help solve problems of the young. In reaching his goal, the future teacher tries his hand at cutting and pasting, kiddie lit, and psychology. He learns methods, methods, and more methods. And when his Ed. School experience is over, he usually agrees that it was during his practice teaching that he really began to learn how to teach. The student teacher realizes with a pang of nostalgia that she is too old to swing; . . . and she is on the other side of the desk, maternal instincts begin to emerge. 27

Law students may be found holed-up in the Legal Research Library, . . . ... or relaxing briefly between their classes. . . . talking shop in an informal bull session . . . THE LAW SCHOOL is the most self contained of the University ' s schools and colleges. It is con- fined to the impressively gothic Law Quad, the only part of the University that looks like a university. Many a future lawyer lives in the Law Quad, in addition to studying and attending classes there. Despite his full schedule of classes and heavy study load, he isn ' t completely confined. It is rumored that he occasionally emerges for a beer. 28
