29 oiteae of c iberai rh To develop and broaden the whole man is the objective of a liberal education. In concur- rence with this aim, Marquette University ' s Col- lege of Liberal Arts attempts to mold truly educated men and women by instilling in them a grounding in the sciences, an appreciation of literature and languages, a Christian philosophy of life, and a trustworthy set of moral and re- ligious principles. Although practical success cannot rightly be called the primary purpose of a liberal educa- tion, a swelling roster of successful graduates gives testimony to the conviction that a ground- work of firmly developed speculative powers will act as a lively springboard for practical ac- complishment. The core of liberal arts activities is Johnston Hall on West Wisconsin Avenue. The building was presented by the late Robert A. Johnston of Milwaukee in 1906. The College had been con- ducting its classes in a small frame building on Gesu church property since its formal opening in 1881. The Liberal Arts College is the original unit of the University. In 1887 it graduated its first class, consisting of five candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree. Housed under the roof of Johnston Hall are classrooms, offices, a student chapel, a library, the Marquette University Press, and living quar- ters for the Jesuit members of the faculty. It is on the first floor that the liberal arts student can find the offices of his dean. Reverend Virgil Roach, S.J., and his assistant. Reverend Eugene Kessler, S.J. The Liberal A rts office is also on the first floor. Today ' s student has a substantial program of studies to choose from. Courses are offered in Pause for Reflection.
