What should a student expect from Carthage and what is expect- ed of the student for optimum effectiveness are thus the major considerations. The college's responsibilities are revealed through a part of Dean Spangler's definition of a liberal arts education. .. liberal education is that which liberalizes or trees man from narrowness of thought and vision, irrational thinking. emotional preiudicest and undue worship of the practicavvocational pursuits of life. It should consist of a study and understanding of the great philosophical. political, social, and scientific ideas and actions that have brought mankind to his present level of attainment. in this statement Carthage's responsibility is to provide the atmosphere, which consists of a diverse educational program and extracurricular activities. An examination of courses and activities available reveais that Carthage does provide the ne- cessities for a liberal education A variety of courses in many areas of interest is listed in each time schedule and activities for different tastes and pursuits are recorded in this yearbook. Thus. a legitimate gripe against the liberal arts program at Carthage. in most cases. is not valid.
