( THE UNIVERSITY HANDBOOK “The history of the George Washington University begins as an idea in the mind of the ‘Father of Our Country.’ George Washington had long proposed the founding of a university in ‘our capital city,’ and to assure the enactment of this plan, he pro- vided in his will for the endowment of an institution ‘to which the youth of fortune and talents from all parts . . . might be sent for the completion of their education in all branches of polite literature; in arts and sciences; in acquiring knowledge in the principles of politics and good government.’ ”... So the questioning freshman and the transfer students are first informed of this University through our Student Handbook, which this year was given free to all stu- dents. In addition to being a student’s pocket-guide to the activities on campus, a general outline of the organizations and a directory are contained within the book. The Handbook continues: “Today, the University, in all its diverse branches, has become one of the nation’s leading seats of higher education and research, following a great tradition of which we may all be proud.” . . . 10
