DEAN EDWIN WATTS CHUBB 1 J ■■ 1 w 1J jJEui 2s V - •INCE 1907 Edwin Watts Chubb has been Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Consistently throughout his long term of service, he has been the advocate of high standards of scholarship, and he has con- tributed as much or more to the academic standards of Ohio than any other man. Twenty- seven years ago, sensing the needs of students, he established the Alumni Loan Fund. It was made possible by his solicitation of contribu- tions from friends and alumni of the University. He has been signally honored by having a per- manent memorial erected during his life-time. To this genial, broad-minded, accomplished Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, we pay tribute. 25

THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES — S THERE a future for the College of Liberal Arts? We may well ask this question as we approach the end of this year of economic and social revolution. The answer is closely bound up with the future of de- mocracy, which itself is based upon the Jeffersonian belief in the possibili- ties of the man who starts his career without wealth, family connections, or any stepping stone to position, except ability and character. If the opportun- ity for free and individual development is to be denied the born leaders of democracy, the colleges of liberal arts and democracy will alike perish from America. No believer in democracy can look calmly upon the possible regi- mentation of its youth into any system that limits the spirit of intellectual ad- venture that has marked the best of colleges. The college must keep abreast of the flow of human thought, but it must not be swallowed by a system, for slavery to a system would mark the end of organized education as a vital element in human progress, and as yet, we have nothing to take its place. Whatever theories one may have in regard to the purpose of a college education, he is likely to agree that in an atmosphere of in- tellectual freedom college life should prepare for effective participation as a responsible adult in the world in which he lives, and for going on with the task of self-understanding, sefl-government, and self-development that is to come. The student is advised to defer specializing until after he has had two years of college life. Thus by arranging the studies in four groups and by requiring a minimum from each group, it is hoped that the danger of narrowness of culture has been avoided; while by requiring a maximum in one group it is expected that the student will have op- portunity to develop power by intensive study of closely related subjects. The aim of a College of Liberal Arts is to give one an intellectual grasp on human experience. -=[24]:-
