In the attempt to give the student a practical basis for his life, care is taken that he shall not lose sight of his social obligations or his cultural needs. The Credo of the School is stated as follows: We believe that eliminating waste, releasing new energies, and organizing more effectively in our eco- nomic life, will reduce the burden of humanity, raise the standards of well-being, lay the basis for finer and more abounding cultural agencies, and bring the race within reach of enlarged and enriched opportunity.

GMADUATE SCHOOL The graduate school, ideally considered, is a group of qualified teachers and students applying themselves in freedom and with the necessary library and labora- tory resources to the problems that interest them. It has a province peculiar to itself in the investigation, discovery, and application of truth. According to tra- dition, this search for truth has been incessant and should be continuous. In this work the school enter- tains the ideal of excellence as a rule of practice. This sort of activity has been and is a part of civilization. It is perhaps the verifiable way of progress.
