riITXlT.ltTtiITTTliTTTTll 1 TTJL1TTT College of Liberal Arts The College of Liberal Arts is the oldest of the colleges of the University, the center from which the other colleges have sprung or around which they have developed. Courses of study may be pursued in order to obtain a broad preparation for life, to secure a basis for professional training, or to acquire knowledge of direct service in a chosen field. To accomplish these purposes four types of courses have been organized, namely, the Standard Course, Special Courses, Combined Courses, and Semi-Professional Courses. In the year 1922-23 the registration in the College exceeded 4,300 students; the number of instructors not including the assistants is more than two hundred, and in the twenty-two departments of the College there are more than 500 courses open to undergraduates. The College is planning continually both in its curricular and extra-curricular activities to meet the needs of individual students. The primary aim of the faculty is to inspire and train young men and women to enter their life work with the spirit of service. Our hope is that our graduates will play a helpful part in legislative halls, in pulpit, in school, in bank, in office, and in home. DEAN W KL- TTTT TTTTTTTY Page 22

o 7 While there seems as yet to be no fully standardized definition of the work of the Dean of Women, it is generally understood to be advisory leadership of the young women in our Univer- sities. This phase of the administration concerns itself with the whole life of the student and thus in matters academic and in the details of every day living the Dean of Women should be the wise and patient friend of every girl, regardless of color or creed or ancestry, personality, or mental power. If the real object of an education is conceded to be the development of an attitude toward life the office of the Dean of Women is assisting in the process by emphasizing ideals of character, by maintaining standards of behavior, and by affording disciplinary training in citizenship and service while striving to stress constantly the power and honor and glory of true womanhood. i-i
