In 1821 the Columbian College was granted a charter for the ‘‘sole and exclusive purpose of educating youth in English, learned and foreign languages, liberal arts, and literature.” The basic purpose of the Columbian College is to develop the student ' s awareness of Ins partic- ular abilities and his general intellectual pow- ess. This objective is achieved by acquainting the student with one major area of study while developing his understanding of how this field fits into the larger context of liberal arts. Among the many fields of study available are English, philosophy, history, literature, for- eign languages, mathematics, arts and sciences. Recently, a revised curriculum has been de- signed to broaden the scope of a liberal arts education to meet the necessities of modern times. Henry G. Doyle Dean Calvin D.
