But outside of his field, the average M.I.T. student has little contact with members of the faculty. There are only four faculty residents in all the dormitories. Although these do give occasional parties, few students have much additional contact with them.

Each student does have an adviser, however. As at Harvard, he has one for the Freshman year and then gets another when he chooses a field of concentration. Although every student must meet with his adviser at the beginning of each semester to map out his course of study, few see him more than this once. While Harvard and M.I.T. both put the initiative for establishing faculty-student relations on the student, M.I.T. seems to make the student go further out of his way.

Such polarization around the academic side of college life has led M.I.T. men to form rather interesting views of their Harvard contemporaries. While the most conservative regard the Harvard man as a "different kind of animal pursuing an entirely different goal," others brand him as an "egghead," "esthete," or "queer." Some see him as more versed in the social graces, since he has more free time in which to practice them. As one student puts it, "I think of Harvard men as wearing clothes rather than holes with clothes around them as we do here." He explained that no one wears a coat or tie at M.I.T. because there are few girls to impress and they would only get ruined in lab. Besides, they are not required.

'Spiritual Well-Being'

Despite the M.I.T. student's little informal contact with the Faculty, the administration has manifested a growing concern for his "spiritual well-being." To combat problems caused by work pressures, the Institute has placed increasing emphasis on its advisorial program. Few of the students have much contact with their advisers, but the avenue of approach remains open whenever they feel the need of advice.

Religion, too, has received a boost by the construction of a new chapel. As the peculiar structure of the building indicates, the Institute takes no sides on religion, but offers the chapel to each religious group for its own purposes.

Without required attendance at morning8Although M.I.T.'s "educate the whole man" policy has many facets, three of these are depicted above. To the left, the Institute's AFROTC cadets develop the military sides of their natures at Monday afternoon drill in the armory on Mass.

In the center, however, a Tech student seems to be concentrating on the girls rather than on building a strong body to please the Administration. To the right, M.I.T. students find time to relax and "learn from each other" after a Meal in one of the dining halls.
