Edinboro Frosh Rate High in Tests Stand Near Top in American Association Scores e.qi s , These ratings were announced by 1 Dr. Ross in the special assembly pro­ gram last week. New Buildings Are Nearly Complete Christopher Bean” THE VC)ICE OF STUDENT OPINION EDINBORO STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, EDINBORO, PA. MARCH 4, 1939 Art Publications Praised By Many Murals and Art Course Described in Bulletins Well deserved is the favorable comment on the two recent publica­ tions dealing w.th the art department. They are, without question, the finest ever issued to date. “Art Education at Edinboro,” ed­ ited by Mr. Bates, head of the art department, gives a clear picture of the art school. The text is well writ­ ten, and the excellent choice of illus­ trations show many of the students at work and some of the finished pro­ ducts illustrating various phases of art work offered by the college. Of particular merit is the remarkable collection of photographs depicting the natural beauty that surrounds Ed­ inboro. “Murals at Edinboro,” contains faithful reproductions of the mural paintings which were executed by art students in the corridor of Nor­ mal Hall. It also describes and ex­ plains the individual paintings of this project in considerable detail. Copies of the latter publication are available to the student body. The art students have received cop­ ies of “Art Education at Edinboro.’ An elaborate program of testing, sponsored by the American AssociaGin;'. ton of Teachers Colleges showed enjl that Edinboro ranks high among a i a k great number of other teachers col­ leges who participated in the proThe tests were given to the ---- gram. entering freshmen of each of the CH schools last fall.

Edinboro was tenth in the group of ~~T twenty-seven who were tested in - • English, and fifth in the group of twenty-six tested in Elementary Edu­ cation.
