cf)ool of Htueral rtg HE School of Liberal Arts of the University offers extended courses in all the subjects usually included in the course leading to the degree of A. B. Graduates of such schools are found to be the most successful in life, and in recognition of this fact the Univer- sity authorities have made generous provision for the equipment of this department of scholastic work. The main departments offer in each case a variety of courses which enable the student to pursue his or her specialty during the entire four years with considerable freedom of election among related studies. Each student is free to choose any one of three courses, but the major part of the studies in the course chosen is compulsory, so that it is not possible to pass from subject to subject at will. In the languages which constitute the main body of the Liberal Arts course, a wide variety of subjects is offered. In English which is required of all stu- dents, the entire range of English literature is covered, and similar advantages are afforded in French and German. In addition to the usual reading courses in Latin and Greek, several courses in the Architecture, Sculpture, Painting and Topography of the Romans and Greeks are offered. Separate laboratories are provided for the departments of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. History, Political Economy. Pedagogy, Philosophy and Sociolo- gy afford, in the courses offered in these lines, abundant opportunity for work to those who find these studies most pleasant and profitable. The generous elective system makes it possible for the student to choose certain subjects in Music, the Fine or Applied Arts, and in the School of Commerce. Separate instructors are provided for each of the departments of the School, so that, no instructor is obliged to teach several subjects, an arrangement found unfortun- ately in too many American colleges. The School of Liberal Arts is commodi- ously and conveniently housed in the central building of the main group. All in all, in the personnel of its faculty, the numerous courses offered, the equip- ment and building, the liberal arts school of the J. M. U. will compare favora- bly with similar schools in the foremost colleges of the country. ' They who are pleased themselves must always please. — Edith Bowyer. 21
