Tlie central ideal nf an Academic Cmirse is the ])rc)motion of pure learning, besides ainiinj ' to i ive the undergraduate a hrciad and liberal culture, sijlendid menial disci])line and useful knuwledge. All this is greatly facilitated by spec- ialized study and research : then follows naturally, the diffusion of this know- ledge among the ])eaple. Com])etent and well trained men are supplied for the noble professions and public service. Graduates are turned out for tiie work of i roducing and dis- tributing wealth. The Academic Department i if any great L ' niversity tenils to elevate the level of culture in a Democracy. It is broaclly practical in qualifying students to resjiond wisely and effectively to all the great relationshiixs of life, by fitting them to ])L-rform their indi idual. social, and civic duties, and to take their part in the life of the nation, the family, the church and the state: not to follow l)lindly, but lo lead intelligentl is the true ambition of the . cademic. Not only does the free and intentive spirit become characteristic of the aca- demic Department but it stands in the midst of the nuj t advanced ideas of civ- ilization and can be depended ujion to furnish some of the most important con- trii utions to the study and advancement oi all social, economic and ethical |)rcil)k-ms. The mental and moral atmosphere is made healthful and a strong honest manhood, promoted. All the infhiences surrounding the work tend to create citizens in harmony with the Xalional idea, broad minded anil loval to public welfare. Men prejjared for general activity are sent into tlie world to influence the nation, men who can express themselves by tongue or i)en with clearness and accuracy, au l finally men who have a store of knowletlge which humanily in its progress has accpiired. read both for present and future use. 21
