HOW TO FIND F. T. C.

To find State Teachers College at Framinghamis not really so hard as you may imagine. Withyour Handbook tucked in your pocket, and your"big sister" to greet you, why worry ?

You can't get lost if you f ollow these simpledirections. If you come into Framingham bytrain, you will want to take a B & W bus or taxito Framingham Centre. You will find the busacross the railroad crossing at the first corneron the left, and the taxi at the station. Th,e dis-tance f rom Framingham to the Centre is twomiles. Ask the bus driver to stop at State Street,at the cement steps. These steps ar,e situated atthe foot of our "llill." The rest of your journeyrvill be done "shank's mare" up the long hill,State Street, through Whittemore Gate andstraight on to the college grounds. You willcome first to Wells Hall, then May Hall. Thentake your left at the drive and go around thecircular drive to Dwight Hall where all studentsregister and u'here boarders will be directed toth,e dormitories.If you drive f rom Worcester, upon enteringFramingham Centre you will cross the railroadtracks, then turn immediately right on to May-nard Road. You will follow Maynard Road onup the hill to the college grounds.If you drive in from Boston you will come to agroup of traffic lights at the corner of MainStreet, Fligh Str,eet, and the Turnpike. At thispoint cross the Turnpike and go up High Streetat the right of the Esso Gas station on the cor-ner. Continue on this street until you come toState Street, at which point you will turn leftup the hill to the college grounds.

ENTRANCE TO COLLEGE GROUNDS

The Henry Whittemore M,emorial Gate, whichis at the entrance to the campus, was given bythe Classes of 1917, 1918, and 1919, and named

for Mr. Whittemore, Principal of the Framing-ham Normal School from 1898 to 1917.

OUR FRAMINGHAM BACKGROI-IND

Over a hundred years ago, Massachusetts schoolswer'e faced with the fact that their teachers wereunfitted for teaching because of ignorance, notonly of teaching methods, but of the subjectmatter as well. To overcome this difficulty, theMassachusetts Board of Education was formedirr 1837, r,vith Horac,e Mann as its first Secretary.This board made possible the establishment ofthree normal schools, one of which has grown tobe our Framingham State Teachers College. OurNormal School was established in 1839 at Lex-ington under Reverend Cyrus Peirce, as Principal.Reverend Samu'el J. May succeeded Peirce in1842, but after two years the latter again becamePrincipal. In 1849 he rn'as follorryed by Eben Sterns.The school was moved to Framingham in 1853.The first womall Principal, Miss Annie E. John-son, s,erved from 1866-1875, and re-establishedthe practice school. She was followed by MissEllen Hyde, who became Principal in 1875.

Until 1898, the school prepared for the elemen-tary grades only, but during that year the MaryFlemenway School of Domestic Science in Bos-ton was added. In 1920 the Vocational Depart-ment was established by the Federal Board of\/ocational Education.Henry Whittemore became Principal in 1898 andconducted the school for nineteen years. He wassucceed,ed by Dr. James Chalmers, who retiredin 1930.

Francis A. Bagnall, who followecl Dr. Chalmers,retired in 1936. Martin F. O'Connor took hispositicn as President in September of that year.With extension to the State Normal Schools ofthe privilege of granting degrees because of theestablishment of the four-year course and therecognition of the work don,e as of collegiategrade, the Legislature in March, 1932, changedthe names of all State Normal Schools inMassachusetts to State Teachers Colleges.r.t1

The road to achievement is not often spectacu-lar, paved, as it must be to withstand heavytraf{ib, with purpose, industry, and perseverance-It has signposts, although occasionally they areovergrown with lush f oliage inviting dalliance.I)isc,ernment is protection here.'fhere is time to investigate a by-path if it leadsto pleasure or beauty for the memory to cherish.Judgment must guide in their selection. One-wall streets are to be avoid'ed, for their alluringvistas lead but to f rustration, serving only toretard progress. Self-control helps in reorienta-tion.Zest f or the voyage, consideration f or f ellowtravellers, a helping hand for the faltering, anda faith in Divin'e Goodness make of the road ajoyful way of life.

She should accept and support thefundamental standards of the group and shouldalso be willing to conf orm to all customs andprocedures which have proved to be for the bestinterests of the community.

Each member of the Student Cooperative Asso-ciation should take active part in offering sug-gestions for improvement and should feel herselfto b'e a vital part of a flexible and progressivedemocracy.Moreover, while each student is identified withthe college, she ir, inevitably, its representativewherever she go,es and should feel the obligationof loyalty in maintaining its rep,utation at all times.

THE ELLA C. RITCHIE LIBRARY

On the s'econd floor of Dwight Hall is locatedthe college library recently named the Ella C.Ritchie Library as a tribute to the librarian whoserved the college from 1923 until her death inl94L In addition to this main library there areseveral departmental libraries on the campus,making more easily available the books and otherlibrary materials needed f or special class work.The library of about 18,000 volumes includes anadequate collection of ref erence books, booksspecifically chosen f or class work, books f orrecreational and cultural reading, newspapers,and more than 150 periodicals on a wide varietyof subjects. Since the books and periodicals havebeen selected to answer the many needs of bothtaculty and students, certain rules regarding theuse of the library and its materials are necessaryso that atl m,embers of the college communitymay enjoy equal library privileges.1. Ref erence books do not circulate ; they are

needed in the library at all times.2. Current periodicals do not circulate ; they

may b,e read in the library.3. Certain books needed f or class assignments

are taken from the main collection from timeto time and placed on special shelves f orlimited periods. These so-called r,eservedbooks are charged f or over night only. Inthis way a few copies serve many students.

4. All other books and other library materialsmay be taken out for a period of two we,eks ;

at the end of that time renewal is allowed.' Either the librarian or a student assistant is

always on duty in the library. All users of thelibrary are urged to consult the desk att,endantat any time when they need help in using thelibrary. The college library is a place for quietreading and study; it is an agency of instructionrather than a storehous,e of books ; it should bethe academic center of the institution.

OFF-CAMPUS CONTACTS

A Frarningham girl aims to be informed. She is

not .enclosed behind brick walls, but rather sees

vital connections between her studies and the

world she lives in.

Mar-ry students joil the Foreign Policy Associa-

tion, the Twentieth Celtury Club, and the Pan-

Anrerican League, wh'ere they have al1 oppor-

tu1it1, to attend lectures on the social, economic,

alcl political problems i1 the world today. They

also broaden their cultural background by visit-ing some of the nruseums that are comparatively

near the coll'ege: in Bostotr, Cambridge, and

Worcester.\{a1y of the students join the civic Music

Association which brings to F'ramilgham out-

standing artists in the musical world'

Flome economic students make supervised visits

to markets, stores, and industrial plants'

All departments at Framingham ,encourage a

close relationship between scholastic work and

related cultural opportunities in the surrounding

colnmulities. There are opportunities to coll-

tinue affiliatio1 with Scouts, 4-H, and Rainbow,

and to b,ecome an active member of the Civic

League Players, and the Framingham Commun-

ity Choral Society.

Students are encouraged to become actively

identi fied with their church in Frarningham

through social service work, choir, and youl1g

peopl,e's organizations.
