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.

THE LIBRARY AND THE LABORATORY Books are the traditional tools of the scholar and laboratory experiences are an essential part of the learning process in scores of subjects. Knowledge is imparted only when the student of his own will and effort has sought it. The Chalmer Davee Library at River Falls was constructed in 1954 and provides open shelf access to its many volumes. Special areas are set aside for individual study in the stacks. Many of the laboratories on campus are in use long after the formal class session has ended. The student continues to test out and prove what he has heard in the lecture session, to try an idea that may have value. What he sees is recorded.
