The Iesuit liberal arts college, in common with the whole Catholic system of education, has for its primary objective the formation of the true and perfect Christian in his wholeness. As each agency of the Church for human welfare and progress has its distinctive area of emphasis, so the Catho- lic college exists to impart knowledge considered es- sential to a liberal education: to provide experience de signed to cultivate the intellect, will and emotions: to produce, in fine, the educated man possessed of broad knowledge, a trained mind, an intellectual Catholicism and an operative Christian philosophy of life. The College of Arts and Sciences is on the approved list of the Association of American Universities and is an accredited member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. It holds membership in the Iesuit Educational Associ- ation, the National Catholic Educational Association, the American Council on Education, the Association of Ameri- can Colleges, and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars.
