But the attraction which grips the neophyte who cannot distinguish between a lens and shutter when he reports, and his type constitutes the majority of candidates, is more deep-seated than a mere liking for the art of photography itself. Through his contacts and appointments with outsiders, he becomes aware of phases of the life of the University that were unknown before.
