JAM ES VV. ARMSTRONG gf SYLLAB T H E ' THE DEAN OF MEN HE Syllabus is a record book of transient things. It also marks the birth year of more permanent contributions to the development of the University. This year two important additions in equipment have been added to the physical facilities serving Northwestern men. The Men's Union has been established in the old Coast Guard Building. It makes more definite their existence on campus and pro- vides facilities for the development of their program. The interests of the men on the north campus have been furthered by the addition of a new dormi- tory. Austin House provides living quarters for the Austin scholars and other students, it furnishes a splendid new dining room for all dormitory men, and offers a grill in which all the men on the Patten Campus can meet and enjoy a broader association than is provided by their individual houses. These two buildings emerge fromrthe activities of the year as permanent additions to the men's program. THE DEAN OF WOMEN HE primary purpose of each young woman who enters the uni- versity is, presumably, to prepare herself to face life after her college days are over with a broader and more intelligent outlook. The educative process to which she submits herself on entering the uni- , versity is by no means entirely limited to the class room. By the time of commencement, each graduating woman should have certain amount of academic information and zest for constructive reading. She should have learned good sportsmanship. She should have de- veloped her personality in all its rehnements of poise, charm, good disposition, courage, frankness and honesty. She should have trained herself in attitudes which most nearly meet her conception of her own ideals and hopes, based on careful investigation and thought. She should have become as nearly as possible her own picture of a real university and Northwestern woman. As Dean of Women my desire is to assist every college woman in finding herselfgin attain- ing that complete integration which will guarantee a full, creative, and happy absorbed a future life.

They are not sustained without watchful attention by their caretakers. The bul- wark of their system is their undergraduate body, upon whom devolves the duty of enriching the foundation on which the University stands. The Trustees depend to perpetuate the traditions and ideals of the University on them. In this year of 1933 there are many problems facing the administration by the Trustees.

M .ulll I6 f 1 ,. I O F ' I 9 3 4 THE BUSINESS MANAGER OF NORTHWESTERN HE Business Ofhce administers all linancial affairs of the Univer- sity and keeps the records of the Board of Trustees. It is con- stantly striving to perfect its accounting system so it will meet the highest standards approved for educational institutions, and to con- duct its activities with such accuracy and honor as to command the respect and confidence of all with whom the University does busi- ness. Another aim of the Business Ofhce is to realize the greatest possible amount of money for the educational departments, for which the University exists. Perhaps one of the most important of the aims of the Business Otiice is, through its service, to make friends for Northwestern. In dealing with its many tenants, the Business Office, while working always for the interests of the University, has striven to go beyond the letter of the law in fairness and generosity. Thus a multitude of friends has been built up for Northwestern I I I I I University, and friends are its greatest asset. XVILLIAM A Dvcm: I 1 I 4 . , ii I I I I I I DEAN Anmsox lliu niuw Page 23 THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS NE objective of the School of Liberal Arts must be forever upper- most: to make available to all qualified students the greatest possible educational opportunity. This is too great and too im- portant a task to be readily summarized, but in general it may be said to mean placing of greater responsibility upon the indi- vidual student to educate himself, affording greater'opportuni- ties for initiative and independence in study for students of superior capabilitiesg offering a greater synthesis of knowledge somehow to offset some of the tend- ency toward over-specialization which marks the times. The College is now and must continue to be a place where students learn, teachers teach, and scholars, unhampered by conventions and prejudices, pursue their advanced study and make their contributions to progress and civilization and truth. Buildings and physical equipment must be improved certainly, but not as ends in them- selves. They serve only so far as they make more possible improvement in study, in teaching, in research, only so far as they give residence to that intangible and all important quality of an institution-the spirit of learning. . .
