THE qiuiBVieFi A. B. Colby University; Ph. I). Clark University Pratt Institute. School of Library; University of Chicago Every one has come in contact with these abstract, and yet distinct, vapors which make up the environment of the Pedagogy and Psychology Department. It is many a student's experience to become amazed at the influence of this atmosphere. The primary vapors aim to develop in the student an initiative, and soon he finds himself asking numerous questions, a few of which are sensible. Gradually the vapors impart knowledge relating to the methods of reasoning, and the working of the human mind is better understood. Commingled with all this is a spirit of encouragement that has helped many a student to defy failure. LIBRARY No more in the old library shall we be greeted by the slightly musty but wholly pleasant odor of old books and new magazines. It is a pleasant picture to recall,— students bending over their books,glancing through magazines. or searching the shelves for a special volume. Not the least of the influence making the atmosphere of the library delightful and companionable were the librarians, ever ready with guidance along the devious ways of information. Twenty-two Ph. H.

The mist that hovers over the Mathematical Department is pierced by many mystic symbols: arcs and circles, pyramids and cones appear through rifts in its surface. Contrary to expectation, this mist is neither cold nor forbidding, nor does it act altogether by fixed and calculated rule. For the influence of the faculty who rule over the department is benign and kindly, and softens the sharp angles of geometry or lightens the sometimes rough surfaces of arithmetic. The mysteries and intricacies of calculus or the division of decimals seem clear and fascinating. Oshkosh Slate Normal Twenty-one A. B„ A. M. University 0f Michigan

QUIVER The atmosphere surrounding our physical instructors extends its influence to all the students in the school. No one can attend their classes without feeling that the aims of physical education are really worthy. Their leaders train us in the way that we should go. and unconsciously set such splendid examples in physique that, without realizing it, we straighten up when we meet them. The untiring efforts, the reassuring smiles, make the student wish to double his efforts. Their influence is felt, not only in their class work, but in all the social and athletic functions of the school.
