Srltnnl nf iliihvral Arm IME works strange changes. An illustration of this time-honored truth may be found in the -changed attitude of the general public 'towardd the literary courses which consti- tute the backbone and vitals, as it were, ol' the liberal arts course. A good many years ago a distin- guished man thus characterized this Pflfl of thc IWW eourse: '.I.'hese studies mould our yonlll. flvlisltt Ultl 1120'- set oil' prosperity, afford a refuge antd solace in adversity. pleasure at home, help us through the 'wakeful nights, at- tend tie on our journeys to foreign slrores. and fail us not in country retreats. ln this characterization there was no intention on the part of the writer to classify such studies -as aecomplishments rather 'than practical, for in his tirnc mon .Of affairs were educated only in literattu'e, and the eminently practical value never doubted nor called into que wholly materialistic and above all herent. and but little acquired taste aesthetics, it was thought desirable away in a measure from the sordid of such studies was stion. But in an age practical. with no in- for music and art and to direct men's minds views of these studies to -their liner and more spiritual aspect. Curliously enough this chance utterance,-so great has been the in- lluence of this man upon modern thought,-has obscured the old notion th-att literary studies were primarily practi- cal aud incidentally aecomplislnnents. and promoted the belief that they are cultural rather than practical. The man of today is 'arrayed against the man 'ot' yesterday. Who is right is fortunately not a matter ot' opinion but a matter ol' fact, A survey ot' the broad tield ot' national life both at home and abrotad shows the graduates ot' the' lib- eral arts courses tak-e the lead and outclass all compet- itors, and demonstrates the fact that the literary courses above all others are entitled to the appellation ol' practi- cal. Nor is this surprising when one considers the op- lmlilllllllcs Oben to the student of literature. He is pre- pared for any or all of tive great professions.-teaehing, politics, journalism, the ministry and literature. 'l'he prospective lawyer can protitably take only this eourse. 'Recently technical concerns. such as telephone and elec- trical companies, have sought the liberal arts graduates for the conduct of general business wherein lies the best opportunity for advancement. And so this course is more and more demonstrating its right to be called the prac- tical course. Uhr illllillihrk 1 HUB
