l THE COLLEGE Of LIBER dll ART MQ According to Dean Addison ,l libbard the true purpose ofa college training is tl1e development of a philosophy ol' life. A liberal education is based on this idea by encouraging a student to find himself, his individual capacities, and to discover his own powers and enthusi- asms. With our civilization becoming more complex everyday and college attendance increasing yearly under normal conditions, the College ol' Liberal Arts has devised a flexible educational program. A rich curriculum, which includes a wide range ol' subjects, has been developed over a period ol' years to furnish each student with the general basis of knowledge 10 cope with the varied problems of the world. But there is some specialization required along with tl1is general knowledge. Through a system ol' fields ol' Concentration one particular interest ol' a student is emphasized in the courses he takes during his schooling. This system is a modification ol' the old major- minorv requirement that used to harrass the incoming freshman of old. Mr. Hibbard has used his widespread experience in defining the methods involved ill securing a liberal education. fl le believes that every student should have a knowledge of the great works of our own literature. Along with this should go an understanding of some language other than his own to live intelligently in our world and 'to understand society in general. .llealth is also 'taken into consideration, with the college pro- viding an elementary course in hygiene and instruction in physical exercise. Although the College of Liberal Arts is the largest in the university, every student is given tl1e opportunity to personally contact the faculty. This is done by a system of college advisers who provide counsel and friendly suggestions. Advisors are always willing to aid students in the solutions ol' their academic problems. No longer can liberal arts be analogous with students known as aimless Wanderers. lVlany leaders ol' our country today are graduates ol' Nortliweslerifs fore- most college. 25
