S§11 A break between classes. The visitor may be impressed with the many new buildings that dot the campus of the College. For, although the College at River Falls was founded in 1874, only three of its buildings were constructed before 1950. Yet, one soon senses that these buildings are not the College; that the facilities are merely the setting in which learning takes place. Enflamed with the study of learning and the admiration of virtue; stirred up with high hopes of living to be brave men and worthy patriots, dear to God, and famous to all ages. —Milton

From teachers, from books, from his classmates and associates, and alone with himself THE STUDENT LEARNS Within the mind, education takes place. For the College acts as the storehouse of the accumulated knowledge of centuries... held in its books and in the learning of its faculty. The student comes, remains but a few years, and departs with much more knowledge than he brought. What is the process, what are the experiences that make the difference? The freshman comes to a new world when he arrives on campus. While his education started in infancy and continued more formally through 12 years, he has now come to the point where he is more nearly on his own. The responsibility for learning is his in an ever larger measure. Responsibility for learning is his. ■■
