“Still Constant Jn a Wondrous excellence” The “wondrous excellence” of River Falls is generally acknowledged. Graduates of the college are serving in every state in the nation and in foreign countries. Accredit' ing agencies and the Wisconsin State Department of Education have praised River Falls for its forward-look' ing program. Part of the reputation of the school, at least, rests on the fact that the institution is student'centered. The student at River Falls always is an individual. He studies in small classes and comes to know many of the members of the faculty personally. He is assisted in his academic planning and in the choice of a vocation. The college measures its success by the success of each student.
