Senior Class in Arts and Sciences The history of the present Senior Class in Arts and Sciences has been varied and interesting. When some of us entered the Institute back in 1918 and even before, the course which we began started with the tenth grade of high school and ran four years to the completion of the Sophomore year of College. Consequently, as soon as some of us finished a year, that year was discontinued and we found ourselves confronting an additional year ' s work before we could hope to get a diploma. And so the process of raising the standard continued ; until now, instead of receiving a diploma representing the last two years of work in High School and the first two in college, we are gratified to know that we are to receive a full-fledged College degree. Last year, only two remained to get the coveted degree. This year, the number has increased to five, and the number will no doubt increase rapidly, as the reputation and popularity of the degree courses is spreading like wildfire. Already, the number working toward degrees in this depart- ment is very large, and others from many sections of the State are planning to come here next year. Our parting wish to our Alma Mater is that before long may she be sending into the field of life many more young men and women who will be as proud as we are of the fact that they came to Southwestern.
