South Hall has paths on all sides. The campus has grown up around the old main building, well situated for cutting through, to get out of the summer heat for a minute or to escape the biting north wind. The student who most often takes the path to South Hall is on his way to a class In social science, art, music, English, foreign language or speech. Inside he may hear the call of a French horn or the ripple of a piano concerto,- he may eavesdrop on Resolved: That the United States. — In the art room, flooded by the high windows with the coveted north light, he will see easels splashed with unbelievable arrays of color. He will struggle with putting his thoughts on paper in on English classroom. They are a creative lot, the people who take the path to South Hall.

To unpathed waters, undreamed shores —Shakespeare Every student at River Falls will take the path to North Hall, second oldest building on the campus. He will begin his college career by filling out forms at the registrar's office and paying fees at the business office. He may attend a science lecture in one of the amphitheatres, explore the mysteries of plant or animal life in the biology lab, concoct a mysterious potion in the chemistry lab, listen to the click of a geiger counter in the radiation lab, try to keep one step ahead of a computer in math classes. He may hear famous artists in concert or lecture in the auditorium or appear on its stage with the Concert Choir or Symphonic Band. He may go to the Dean's office for counseling or pay a friendly visit to the President's office.

Books are paths that upward lead —Poulsson So much more than a repository for books, the Chalmer Davee Library answers many needs of the student who takes the path to its stone and glass entrance. In the three-story stack room he can find the volumes he needs for many a term paper or speech. In the reading room, reference room or browsing room he can find the materials and the atmosphere for concentrated study. Downstairs in the Area Research Center he can find documents, photographs and memorabilia that tell of the early history of his state. He may listen to records, borrow a typewriter or view microfilms of materials not otherwise available. And in the Little Theatre, with its jewel-box auditorium, he can escape into the land of make-believe, either on the stage or in the audience.
