Park College offers a thorough course in Liberal Arts to its students. Its curriculum is supplemented by a program of family work in which all students may participate. Classes are held in Mackay Hall, the administration building, Wakefield Science Hall and Alumni Hall. The Carnegie Library gives opportunity for some research work to students and faculty members. The Thompson Commons is one of the few places in the United States where all the students of a co-educational college dine together. This social intercourse, this meeting together three times a day and discussion of mutual interests is one of the most pleasant features of Park. The Commons also gives employment to a large percentage of the students. Other places where students put in family time are the greenhouse, heat plant, print shop, dairy, and the various dormitories. Assistancies in most departments are available to those who can qualify. Hitherto no attempt has been made to participate in inter-collegiate athletics because of scarcity of time and lack of facilities. However, plans are being made to enlarge the gymnasium during the summer of ' 35, and, it is believed, inter-collegiate basketball, at least, may be possible. Walter Frederick Sanders, A.B. Dean A.M.
