LEARNING IS A CONTINUOUS
PROCESS
FOREWORD
The electric switch is one of the most familiar objects of the Twentieth Century. With a quick finger motion we can choose lightness or darkness, dictate the climates of our dwellings, create a mood through music, or turn a million and one gadgets on or off. But our learning capacity does not work that way. We cannot turn our mental alertness on and off. Learning must be and is a continuous process.
For while Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage," the true student says, "All the world's a classroom." The person whose mental machinery is perpetually "on" has all his powers of observation attuned to the people and phenomenae around him. His learning is not confined to a certain location or concentrated in a certain period of his life . The 1959 Chief Justice is a record of the Marshall students' many times and places of learning . At all times in all places, the sincere student observes, absorbs, reasons, and records the information and logic that make him ultimately a happy and productive person.

Activities Teach Living Lessons
Activities, organizations, athletics, and the college- the four divisions of your yearbook repre senting four divisions of your college. Each is a separate phase of college life, yet all blend to form a well - rounded, unified whole . In the life represented in each division, the college student learns, for he knows that learning cannot be static but

The wave of his hand and his warm smile have helped to make President Smith the respected person that he is.
The 1959 Chief Justice Is Dedicated To . . .
PRESIDENT STEWART H. SMITH

A Living Profile Like the profile of John Marshall, another profile
-a living profile-stands as a keystone of Marshall's
ideals and progress . With bold lines of leadership silhouetted by the bright background of notable de
grees, honors, and respects, this profile is our presi
dent, Dr. Stewart H. Smith .
Though ranking high in education circles as a great scholar and leader, President Smith is known as
a warm and personable individual. His native friend
liness, seen in his ready smile and natural wave of his hand, inspire students, faculty and colleagues alike. The pictures on this page show him in his associations
with these people .
In an unusually difficult year, President Smith continued his dynamic administration with the added
burden of working with business men and legislators to secure additional college income, desperately needed
for our expansion and continued accreditation . Yet,
despite his efforts, the road remained rough . The State cut Marshall 's budget, making planned improve
ments imposs ible. Still President Smith labored calmly
and persistently, his convictions on higher education and love of Marshall reflected in his untiring efforts.
Because of his active leadership, because of his continuous foresighted work despite what some would
call defeat, and because he is a person and not just a figurehead, we dedicate the 1959 Chief Justice to
President Smith, feeling that it depicts the progressive spirit of Marshall which he has done so much to
stimulate .
In the pictures on this page, our president is shown with people who represent the various groups of persons with whom he associates. First we see him with students, then faculty members, other representatives of institutions of higher, and finally speaking to one of the many audiences which engages him during the year . Through these day by day acquaintances more and more people come to know President Smith and admire him in much the same way as we, the students of Marshall College, do .

Thi s is our campus. Inside its buildings, on its grounds, and into its fo r reaching area s we find learn ing taking place . Although the materials with which these structures ore mode ore very tangible,
the book know ledge and " lessons for living" which we gain here ore just a s real.
Students Prepare For Fulfillment of Abilities
Students in Professor Lieberman' s first year language classes acquire their fir st basic skills in German . German is on important segment of the curriculum of students in such fields as engineering .
When one comes to college he is primarily con cerned with gaining a knowledge in a specific field which will prepare him for the career of his own choosing . The language class, the history lecture, the art course, or the chemistry laboratory are all ways of obtaining that education which one needs for the ful fillment of ambitions and abilities . For the business major there is the actual experience of working in a downtown office. The student teacher is placed before a room full of live subjects, and one like the engineer puts his knowledge to use by surveying local property. Thus learning is not confined to a book alone, but is a continuous process .
Likewise, this is true for the entire scope of our mental cultivation. The acquirement of knowledge goes on despite the fact that the student has stepped out of the classroom and placed his books on the shelf. In activities, organizations, athletics, or whatever one may do there is room for a lesson in I ife.

During the noon hour the quantity cookery class serves their dishes to anyone who wishes to eat in the miniature cafeteria in Northcott Hall. Rozella Wilfong and Nancy Kay Doodrum are getting ready to serve the dessert.
Specimens are purchased from geology supply houses and from the area around Huntington in order to give the student a chance to correlate text book material with the real thing .
Lab Work In The Classroom Brings Text Alive
Mr. Walter Felty demonstrates the use of pictures in the classroom in helping the child to learn . Being used more and more by teachers on all levels, visual aids open a new area of study for educators .

All that is learned in the advanced zoology and chemistry classes is aptly put to use when the medical technology majors get their practica l experience during their senior year at the new Cabeii-Huntington Hospital. This recent addition to the Marshall curriculum includes 12-months' experience in the hospital laboratory under the constant supervision of registered instructors and doctors . For 52 weeks the student technologists daily perform actual hospital work, taking blood donors, running bl ood tests, planting cultures of bacteriology, and preparing slides of tissue .
In addition, this practice is supplemented by in struction and demonstrations, formal lectures, supervised study in the library, and reg ular examinations, oral, written, and practical.
Satisfactory completion of this training qualifies the student to toke the Registry Examination, which if passed makes him a Registered Medical technologist .
Thus practical job training filters into the scientific field as well as into the less specialized courses. With three years of class work and one year of training for 44 hours each week, the medical technology student is ready and qualified to enter the medical field .

Science Courses Applied As Technicians Work In Lab
Comparative anatomy is a must for the majors in the medical fields. Here the students enrolled in advanced zoology dissect sharks to get a practical understanding of the differences in anatomy of various animals. Pre-medical students, zoology majors,
and medical technologists who ore trained at Marshall receive the benefit of the modern Science Hall , with its laboratories and scientific equipment available for student use .
With the establishment of WMCS radio station, Marshall students did their own live broadcasts. Through these productions-
the mistakes and shortcomings--first hand information was obtained in the field of communications .
Actual Broadcasts Train Communications Students
Speech students interested in radio work find the radio studio on ideal laboratory for improving their skills in radio interviewing, disc jockey work, and tope recording.
Port of the serious speech major's responsibility is to become familiar with the studio equipment. Any experience gained here will aid him if he later works for a radio or television station.

Mechan ical drawing requires patience and on aptitude fo r exacting work. This student may choose to become a draftsman after graduation, but thi s course is included in the engineering curriculum.
Engineering is one of the most popular majors among freshmen men . Diligent classwork and the heavy schedules of engineering majors generally trims the group to those who truly have aptitudes for it . In order to earn a degree in engineering there are many courses in the science field and even more in mathematics which one must take . Advanced chemistry, physics and the higher math courses are on ly some of the classes to be taken besides those in engineering . Long hard hours of study prepare the individual for a career in this field .
Engineering Curriculum Covers Many Difficult Courses.
Chemistry is only one of the courses whi ch is required for e ngineering maj ors. Nume rous othe r sci ence courses must be to ken in orde r to secure o degree.
Countless groups of surveyi ng students hove practiced on Marshall 's campus. Numerous othe rs will undoubted ly fo llow in t hese men' s foo tsteps a s the eng ineering curri culum expands.

National wire service is teletyped to the journalism department through the general wire of the Associated Press. Students, like Judy O' Dell , stop by at all times during the day to get the world news " hot off the wire." In addition, AP copy is used by the journalism majors for copy editing practice .
Photography and Press Service are Journalism Musts
Cameras and more cameras, being examined by Ron Roach, are available for Parthenon and Chief Justice use in the new photography studio and laboratory which was used for the first time this year. In addition to providing photographic coverage for cam-
pus publications, the lab gives photography students the opportunity to become acquainted with the different types of cameras and the film ~recessing operations, from snapping the shot to using enlargers and dryers for a finished print.

Teachers College students get "on-the-job" train ing in their senior year as they go out to the local elementary and high schools to teach for nine weeks under the supervising eyes of the regular class in structo rs . Here they put their factual knowledge to use, but they just launch into the continual process of learning by coping with the actual difficulties that they must overcome in their job. Conferences with the director of student teaching, Dr. Paul Musgrave, smooth out the final problems encountered by the novice teachers.

Art may be used as a tool for decorating, for selfexpression, or to guide others. Th is room has been occupied throughout the years by serious art students, expressing themselves in oil, pastel s, watercolors, pen -
cil, clay, charcoal, and the other mediums of art . The a b ility to pa int or draw is an inborn talent which finds its utmost expression through the hands of a trained artist .
Fine Arts Provide Room For Individual Expression
Ser ious study in music takes many forms, and among them are voice training, conducting, and the mastering of instruments. Here a student concentrates on just one phase of this curriculum- composing .

Practice Provides Transition From Class To Career
The continual process of learning needs a transi ti on from learning in the classroom to learning in the career . This transition is provided for Marshall students as they practice their job as a part of their college assignments . Practical experience is blended into many of the classes. Typical scenes include those of the play production class as they plan and build their scenery for College Theatre plays, the speech correction students who help local children by teaching them speech techniques, and the physical education students who learn modern dance by dancing .
Using the theory that students should have more than a book knowledge before they jump into professional careers, many departments plan their work around a full-schedule of practical assignments that put the student in situations similar to those that he will face when he is "on-the-job."
Speech correcti on, one of the newer prog rams instituted at Marshall , allows its maj ors to lea rn by teaching. He re Mrs. Ruth Garrett, director of the speech correction program, demonstrates the fac ilities available to the local children who weekly come to the college speech clinic to learn co rrec t speech techniques. The correction program offe rs a Bache lor of Arts Deg ree and a Profess ional Certificate in Grades 1-12.
