f ip36 . PHILOSOPHY A H THE ARTS GROUP self, the mind and its function, the pretdtion of his world in its totality a GEORGE B. LAWSON, Chairman Conference with Dr. Rainey ■ HE Philosophy and the Arts - - Group was formed for adminis- trative convenience more than from logical relation, yet there is a vital unity in the departments embraced, for they all describe the realm of values. No student is content to pursue specific or technical ends and not secure some understanding of the wider reaches of human culture and interest . . . the knowledge of the springs of human behavior, the inter- nd deepest meaning and his relation to it; the reality and ultimate values of the spiritual order and his rela- tion to the Infinite; the appreciation of beauty expressed in the arts and their significance for advancing culture. The more liberal the back- ground for specific knowledge and skill the greater the self-enrich- ment, social sympathy and use- fulness. —GEORGE B. LAWSON Harrlman, HIavaty, Stickney, LeMon, Lawson, Cook, Melrose, Gummo, Gies 29 ♦ i ■ ■ • -4 » • ♦ 4
