IP. an The College of Liberal rts is assuming a stronger position as the center of the I’nivcr sity each year. The students of almost every College of the University now pass through an apprenticeship in the Liberal Arts department. The Medics, Laws, and now even the Dents are Arts men before they enter the portals ot the department in which ther chosen professions are taught. The Journalists, business Administration, and Music students are in many of the same classes of the Liberal Arts students. The cosmopolitan character of those who frequent the classes of Johnston Hall is an asset to the Liberal Arts student. It gives him a wider and more varied acquaintance than his professional neighbor gets while pursuring his chosen vocation. Since the new Science building has decreased the congestion in Johnston Hall, and since the Rev. Simon J. Nicolas. S. J., Dean of Men, moved his headquarters into a more commodious room, the first floor of the building has become a rendezvous of the University. Page 28

 Q 1 -'iHIHILlLTrOlP tn- ' EDWARD A. FITZPATRICK Dran © thr Gradual Sehool Graduate School The transformation of Marquette college into Marquette University is effected by the formal organization of the Graduate school and a Graduate Faculty. The Graduate school carries to full fruition the processes of initiation and orientation so well begun in the undergraduate colleges. The scholars on the Graduate faculty from Budapest, Vienna, Munich, from Harvard. Columbia, and John Hopkins, front our own as well as front other universities, is a guarantee that sound ideals of scholarship dominated by motives of public welfare will control the Graduate school. A careful study of the problems of university organization now being made by the Graduate faculty itself will make certain the progressive improvement of the work and a wider and deeper influence of the Graduate faculty in the Uni versity and in the city. The Graduate school must be dominated by the spirit of research—and push ever forward in the indefatigable and consecrated spirit of Father Marquette himself, to new achievements of knowledge and the application of knowledge to man's need. The period of graduate study is for the student the period of his gradual emancipation from reliance on books and teachers through discipleship under great scholars to independent work. The more rapid this emancipation is. the more effective the work of the school provided it means real scholarly achievement, not glibness, not mere compilation, not s| ectacular theories, but research and original contributions to the world’s knowledge.

 'HBiLXTroip - (2 I .literal Arts students arc primarily concerned with studying the optative moods, delving into pluperfect indicatives, studying NaCTs and dipping into the intricacies of differentials; this does not prevent them from taking active leadership in the other affairs of the University. The Arts depart ment is well represented on the athletic held, the forensic platform, and in the social world. The Arts basketball team won second place in the University championship tournament. The debating championship has been won twice by Arts men within the last three years. Liberal Arts men were well represented ■ m the football squad during the last season, while the track team held more than one man who has his name its roll. The same is true with basketball. Debating has been especially popular during the last year. The Marquette Literary society has been expanded to embrace two branches. One more or one less professional school makes little difference to the University, but what difference there would be without a College of Liberal Arts. The presidents of the classes are: Senior, (iuido (iauckler; Juniors, Alex Wiltner; Page 29
