THE FACULTY From time immemorial Princeton lias been a stronghold of the liberal arts and sciences, a fortress of the all-around, liberally-educated man. With the exceptions of engmeermg and architecture, little emphasis has ever been placed on pure vocational training. On the basis that the only true education is self-education, Princeton has endeavored to in- duce its students to find out for themselves — to carry their educations as far as their own inclina- tions and abilities will take them . . . Princeton ' s plan of study is the result of continuous experi- mentation. It has taken the role of the pioneer with such radical innovations as the preceptorial method of instruction and the independent program of study for upperclassmen ... In an effort to more ade- quately portray Princeton ' s liberal arts system, we have this year divided the faculty section into the four divisional programs of study, as interpreted by four well-known professors in those divisions. They are individual interpretations and will, we hope, add an interesting and human insight into that vague anomaly known as a Princeton education.
