College of 3rt6 anb Sciences Dean Hellems The new name officially presented at the head of this notice records the passing of the old College of Liberal Arts; for the Plan of Organization recently adopted by the Board of Regents provides that it shall be known henceforth as the College of Arts and Sciences. It is not to be expected, nor is it to be desired, that the old ideals will be dimmed or lost to view. Under any name, this department must offer every opportunity for the acquir- ing of a liberal education in the most enlightened sense of the word; it must continue to discover young men and young women to themselves and fit them for the service of mankind. The Seniors who leave this year and the Juniors who take their places will watch the College ever entering into new fields and broadening its horizons; they will see it occupying new and beautiful buildings; they will see it grow in numbers from the thirteen hundred and thirty at present on its rolls to figures one dare not conjecture; but at the centre of it all we hope and trust they will ever find the same spirit that called winningly and helpfully to their hearts in their undergraduate days. Fred B. R. Hellems, Dean. 21

}lu tin-rally £lje ©rabuate cl)ool Dean Lester The average college graduate finishes his course with little real knowledge or training. Commencement for him means exactly that, for he is just prepared to learn. The successive opening of fields of thought new to him and the process of orienting himself with respect to his new ideas leave little time for scholarly achievements. However, with the process fairly complete, the student should enter the graduate school, where he is encouraged to think for himself, where he is guided rather than taught. There he is in a situation to acquire in a year as much knowledge and training as he acquires in any two years of his previous work. Learning, mastery of methods, power in independent thought, the attainments of real leaders in world ' s progress, may be his in so far as he desires them. The rewards in intellectual satisfac- tion and in service to his country and to humanity are beyond price to the teacher and the investigator. Expert knowledge and training are sought and paid for by the modern commercial world, and even the financial rewards of the teacher are rapidly becoming comparable to those in other learned professions. Oliver C. Lester, Dean. 20

lUmiirsilu Cfjc College of $fjarmac? Dean Washburn The College of Pharmacy, established in 1 11 as a division of the School of Medicine, was separated there- from in 1913 and made an integral part of the Univer- sity. From its beginning the College of Pharmacy has stood for high standards of scholarship, sound ethical principles in the profession of pharmacy and for the co- operation and correlation of its curriculum with that of other schools and colleges of the University, to the end that its students may go forth from its lecture halls and its laboratories as broadly educated men and women in truest sense of the word. Its material growth has kept pace with its educa- tional development, and today its graduates are reflect- ing credit and honor on their alma mater by rendering invaluable service in the profession of pharmacy and as teachers in the institutions of higher learning of this and other states, and as manufacturing and analytical chemists in the laboratories of manufacturers of chem- ical and pharmaceutical products and of the Federal Government.
