IN Tl-IE CRANNIED WALL N the ancient days when a college was esteemed as a place wherein the learn- ed read together, a degree in Warts was the ultimate in scholarship. Today, branching out from the Liberal Arts course, Highland Junior College offers to interested students a background for the professional divisions of Pre-Medic study designated as Pre-Law, and Home Eco- nomics. Liberal Arts courses provide the fun- damentals for a cultural education. Stu- dents who attend a junior college can se- cure a creditable amount of academic work in two years from the study of the liberal arts. This course forms the basis for specialized fields such as music, art, and business. The Pre-Medic course offers to stu- dents a foundation for four outstanding professions. The doctor, the laboratory technician, the nurse, and the dietitian all begin their training with the pre-medic routines. On the laboratory work of the technician rests the accurate diagnosis of the physician. The nurse is the minister- ing angel to the suffering world. Upon the dietitian depends the supervision of the diets of the patients. Preliminary training for law fPre- Lawj attracts students whose ambition calls them to the field of jurisprudence, both. as lawyers and legal advisers. The Home Economics course is open to girls who are interested in teaching do- mestic science. Also it provides the sub- jects necessary for those interested in specialized work. The fields of work that Highland Junior College offers to students are al- most unlimited. NVith the understanding that this is a two-year college, students in- terested in higher education realize ,the advantages of a smaller school where they can secure personal aid from the instruct- ors and may participate not in just one, but in all of the school activities. There are numerous fields of work that students can enter immediately after leaving here. -Skills acquired in the junior college vo- cational branches prepare them, if they so desire, to work their way through the last two years, or to obtain the maximum val- ues from extra-curricular educational op- portunities in leadership and self-expres- sion. The knowledge secured from Liberal Arts or our other courses is usable in any field of work today. Twenty-three
