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. ■■

IS THE PROFESSOR Faculty members at River Falls have always maintained an honest allegiance to the student.” Their interest in young people as men and women, not as statistics, has developed a tradition of inspired teaching. This concern is not only for the academically talented student but extends also to the average student —the student of limited background, the student of broad experience, the rich student, the poor student— all are important to the faculty. Teachers are stimulated by watching the intellectual growth of the student during his years in college and afterward. Their aim is to bring the student to the point where he develops independently—beginning in very close association with the teacher and gradually relying less and less on supervision. The student gets help from his prof. An assignment is checked. A tradition of inspired teaching.
