Sli)lt!l,S@i; of MS ' iS-wgEHSlSI) the Graduate College. Many of the courses offered in the college are tools to be used in learning particular techniques or as prepara- tion for acquiring specialized knowledge. In all its courses, basic and advanced, preparatory and specialized, the college fosters the spirit of free inquiry and independent thought; it emphasizes the value of intellectual growth and the satisfaction which comes from knowledge alone. At the same time, it accepts the obligation of training students for the practical purpose of earning a living. The college encourages in students a sense of personal integ- rity and of their civic responsibility to the community, the country, and the world in which they will live. Thus the College of Arts and Sciences seeks to enrich the lives of students as individuals and as active and useful members of society. Its laboratories, libraries, and instructional staff offer to students opportunities and encouragement to work toward the discovery of new truth in the natural and social sciences and in the humanities, to do their share in widening the horizon of human knowledge. Fur- thermore, the college recognizes the fact that it is an integral and functioning part of the commonwealth which supports it; therefore, within the limitations of time and of the facilities at its disposal, the expert knowledge and capacity for leadership of its staff are at the service of every community within the state.
