U THE 19 11 COLORADOAN OInlkg? of ICtbfral Arts ' I ' lu ' ( )lU ' c of LilxTiil Aii of the Uiiivcr.sily has had an iu- tere.stinjr history. Tlie University was formally opened September o, 1877. hut with no students in the Colleo:e. There were two in- structors and forty-four students in the ] rei)aratory and Normal Depart- ments. Before the close of the opcninii- year there were three instructors and sixty-six students. ' V w foUowin-r year the Collejre of Liberal Arts had its b( ' i innin :- with a Fic-iunan chiss of ten members, four of whom continued on to iiradu.ition in Iss-J. The enrollment in the Colle re lias grown aj)ace. In iNDi!. the year of President liaker ' s installation, there were seventy-six students in the College. The enrollment this year exceeds six hundred. Surely a history of which Colorado may be proud! At jjresent a readjustment is in j)rogress in the College of Liberal Art . The elective system has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Theoretically this system permitted a student to elect such courses as he could i)ursue to the l)est advantage or for which he was best fitted. Liberty in the choice of woik. [)roi)er recognition of indi idual aptitude, and freedom for specialization and concentration of eft ' ort were the virtues it was claimed to possess. Practically it has resulted in a dissij ation of energy over a wide range of elementary courses with a mantel y of none, in the ])osses i()n of a lot of odds and ends of informa- tion instead of a body of organized and systematized knowledge. The group sy.stem aims to correct this well recognized evil. It combines all the desirable freedom of the elective system with the advantages of a rigidly prescribed course of study. It provides that certain fundamental courses shall be taken in the Freshman and Sophomore years. During these years the student shall come into touch with practically all the great departments of human knowledge and shall find his major field of work. To the mastery of this field his energies shall be largely directed ill Junior and Senior years. Preadtli of knowledge as a basis for selection and specialization, and intensity of knowledge which mak ' es for efficiency and fruitfulness are thus provided for. The College of l7il)eral Arts should l)e the |)lace where culture in its true sense is obtained. College training gives, oi ' should give, to a stu- dent, an increased ai)preciation of better and higher things; it invests life will) i-eal significance and gives to it meaning and serious purjiose: it broadens the mental horizon, gives deeper insight into the meaning of things that ai ' e and things that have been: and familiarizes him with what is great and ti-ue in literature, history, .-cience and art. Such an institution the world can never do without.
