riITXlT.ltTtiITTTliTTTTll 1 TTJL1TTT College of Liberal Arts The College of Liberal Arts is the oldest of the colleges of the University, the center from which the other colleges have sprung or around which they have developed. Courses of study may be pursued in order to obtain a broad preparation for life, to secure a basis for professional training, or to acquire knowledge of direct service in a chosen field. To accomplish these purposes four types of courses have been organized, namely, the Standard Course, Special Courses, Combined Courses, and Semi-Professional Courses. In the year 1922-23 the registration in the College exceeded 4,300 students; the number of instructors not including the assistants is more than two hundred, and in the twenty-two departments of the College there are more than 500 courses open to undergraduates. The College is planning continually both in its curricular and extra-curricular activities to meet the needs of individual students. The primary aim of the faculty is to inspire and train young men and women to enter their life work with the spirit of service. Our hope is that our graduates will play a helpful part in legislative halls, in pulpit, in school, in bank, in office, and in home. DEAN W KL- TTTT TTTTTTTY Page 22

College of Commerce The training afforded by the College of Commerce rests designedly upon broad theoretical foundations. Emphasis is placed upon basic principles and facts with a view to preparation for business in general rather than for specific lines of economic endeavor. Four years of college work often fail clearly to reveal to the student committed to a business career what specific branch of business he is best fitted to pursue. Trial made in the light of general training is so frequently- requisite to intelligent decision as to strengthen the conviction that highly specialized training for business is often misdirected effort. The student of the College of Commerce, it remains to add, looks upon a business career as a career of satisfaction achieved through cordial cooperation and eager service, in connection with which the pecuniary phases of life are not allowed to dwarf and over-shadow the cultural, social, and ethical. An augmented livelihood should be viewed as an open door to an enlarged and ennobling life. DEAN i-i Page 24
