Collep;e of Arts and Sciences k ' I ' liAN HkI.I.EMn OINCK the great fimriidii ni the Cnloradnan is m cn.ililf students to live again iheir undergratiuate days, it should l)e something like a mirror. Hut in order to he a mirror for the College of Arts and Sciences, it would have to he a veritahle magic glass, reflecting not merei - I lie isil)Ie and tangihle, hut also the unseen and ini|)onder.ii)le. It would need to reflect ahout eighteen hundred lumian-hearted students, each dirterent from the other, a well-e(|ui|)ped Faculty with more th.ui one hundred and lift - memi)ers, and the different goodly huiidings wherein we gather to learn or to teach, and a ihous.md other things. Hut my readers know ihai lie (ind the niirror- ahle things are the all-essential undetinahle things ih.ii lie deep in the hearts of students and faculty. And when old graduates turn the.se pages in after years, I predict witii confidence iii.it ihe will find the mirrored image of the concrete college world haunted hy countless ghosts that ma - ultimately i)rove more real than huiidings, more real even th.m their fellow students. 3-A Pagf 21 Y

1928 Tt e Dean Lester AMONC. the features which distinguish a university from a college, the Graduate School ranks first. It is the province of the Graduate School to plan and to carry out, in all divisions of the University, work which extends beyond that for the first degree. The undergraduate is largely concerned with laying foundations for achievement rather than with achievement itself; with acquiring an understanding and an appreciation of both the past and the present in many fields of learning. The Graduate School builds upon this foundation and attempts to guide those who can profit by the opportunity, to a broader and a more definite knowledge in a hmited field. Its aim is an intimate working knowledge, an inter- preting knowledge, rather than an appreciation based upon a speak- ing acquaintance. It is also deeply concerned with the training of college and university teachers, and with the training of investi- gators in arious fields. It is designed to help those whose aim is to know thoroughly and then to accomplish, or to know thoroughly through accomplishment. U i Cc t - ' C . ( Zyi CZ H. Page 20
